Principal Act
The Local Government (Elections) Amendment Regulations 2019 amends the Local Government (Elections) Regulations 1997. It modifies the wording in Forms 8 and 9 regarding disqualification criteria for candidates, changing "convicted on indictment of an offence" to "convicted of an offence".
Potential candidates for local government elections are affected. The change broadens the scope of disqualification criteria, potentially preventing individuals convicted of any offence (not just indictable offences) from running for office. Returning officers will need to apply the updated criteria.
