Illustration for Local Electoral Act 2001

If you are a territorial authority or regional council, you must forward some documents to the Commission. You must send these documents as soon as possible, but no later than 20 December in the year before a triennial general election. You need to send the Commission the resolution made under sections like section 19H, and any amendments made to it. You also need to send a copy of the public notice given under section 19N(1)(b). You must send all submissions you received about the resolution, and all appeals and objections you got under section 19O or section 19P. You have to send information about the communities of interest and population of the district or region, which you have and is necessary for the purposes of section 19R.
