Paragraph 73 The Legislative Assembly may transact business notwithstanding vacancies

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

The Legislative Assembly shall not be disqualified for the transaction of business by reason of any vacancy in its membership (including any vacancy not filled when the Assembly is first constituted or is reconstituted at any time) and any proceedings in it shall be valid even though some person who was not entitled to do so sat or voted in the Assembly or otherwise took part in those proceedings.
