Illustration for Local Electoral Act 2001

You need to know some rules about electoral rolls for the 2001 election. Some old rules from the Local Elections and Polls Act 1976 still apply. These rules are about who can vote and how the voting lists are made. You should look at sections 7B to 7K of the Local Elections and Polls Act 1976. These sections have some changes for the 2001 election. For example, some words in these sections are replaced with new words. There are also some changes to the dates in these sections. For example, 14 September 2001 is used instead of the 18th day before polling day. 31 August 2001 is used instead of the 43rd day before polling day. Some people have new jobs to do for the 2001 election. The electoral officer can do some jobs instead of the principal administrative officer. This section is important and overrides section 151. The Local Electoral Act 2001 has some sections that are used instead of old sections. For example, section 24 is used instead of some parts of the Local Government Act 1974. You can find more information about these sections on the Local Government Act 1974 and section 23 and section 24 of the Local Electoral Act 2001.
