A law called the Local Government Act 1974 has a part about electing members. You can find this part in section 62, which is called 'Election of members'. This section was repealed, which means it is no longer in use, on 1 November 1989. The repeal happened because of a change made by the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989, which you can read more about by following the link to section 12(1). This change was made to update the law and section 62 is no longer part of it.
