Answer 2

Answer:

Chief Municipal Electoral Officers

The Commissioner in Executive Council appoints the Chief Municipal Electoral Officer and Deputy Chief Municipal Electoral Officers.  Their duties include:

Supervises the conduct of all elections held under the Local Authorities Elections Act;

Assists the Returning Officers as they conduct local elections;

Assists Returning Officers to understand the Local Authorities Elections Act, to complete forms, to respond to community inquiries and the procedural conduct of the election;

Gives direction on how to administer the Local Authorities Elections Act so that all elections are properly conducted;

Issues any instructions which s/he feels are necessary, to election officers to ensure that the provisions of this Local Authorities Elections Act are carried out effectively;

Promotes fairness, impartiality and compliance with the Local Authorities Elections Act on the part of election officers; and

Is available to deal with challenges that arise during the course of the election process, including judicial reviews and police investigations of alleged election offences.

In extreme situations, can stop an election, in whole or in part, and direct that a new election be held or that an election resume.

The Chief Municipal Electoral Officer can apply for a Minister’s Order to vary the time of prescribed dates and shorten the election calendar for by-elections (or other situations) where filling council vacancies is urgent.  The Chief Municipal Electoral Officer can also apply for a Minister’s Order to shorten the election calendar to have the vote fall on the day set out by the Local Authorities Elections Act if, for example, a local authority has been delayed in appointing a Returning Officer due to unforeseen circumstances.  This is a last resort and used only when absolutely necessary.
