For some ungodly reason I have the power to amend the Electoral Regulations myself on the advice of the Electoral Commission so this is notice that effective immediately I am, uh, doing that, and removing Sections 5 and 6 from the Electoral Regulations, which allow for registered broadcasters.

From now on, instead of broadcasters having to apply for registration, anyone posting as part of a press outlet (within reason) will have their content marked for that press outlet. For example, this editorial will be marked as a post from the Belfast Telegraph broadcaster. To be clear -- the broadcaster system will be retained. There's just no longer any need to apply to register your broadcaster.
