Commentary on provisions of Act Section 6: Information to members etc about result of ballot
In addition to the existing requirements in section 231 of the 1992 Act about the number of votes cast and the number of those who voted yes or no to industrial action, this section requires trade unions to specify how many members were entitled to vote and whether the new minimum thresholds now required by section 226 of the 1992 Act have been met.
	This additional information will also be provided to employers under section 231A of the 1992 Act.
	Section 231 of the 1992 Act already requires trade unions to provide details, to those entitled to vote in the ballot, about the number of votes cast; the number who voted yes and the number who voted no; together with the number of spoiled ballot papers. Section 231A requires that this information is also provided to employers.
