Presidential Powers (Temporary Measures) (Amendment of Electoral Act) Regulations, 2008 - SI 13B/2008

Keywords:

Legislation; Presidential Proclamation; Elections; 2008 Elections

Abstract:

The effect of this repeal is that a candidate for election to a local authority council no longer has to support his nomination paper with a police clearance certificate (as evidence that he or she is not disqualified by reason of previous convictions) and a clearance certificate from the council concerned (as evidence that he or she is not disqualified by reason of being in default with the payment of rates, levies etc. to the council). The repeal is purely procedural. It does not abolish the relevant disqualifications; they remain in force (see section 119(2)(d), (e) and (h) of the Electoral Act).(Veritas)
