288 Notice of election and call for nomination proposals
The election manager must publish notice of an election on the election manager’s website for the period commencing at least 1 week before the nomination day and ending at 12 noon on the nomination day.
The notice must—
invite proposals for nomination for the election, and
specify where nomination forms may be obtained, and
specify the date of the nomination day and the approved place, and
specify, if a poll for the election is required to be held, whether the election will be conducted by means of attendance and postal voting or conducted exclusively by means of postal voting, and
specify the date when the poll will be held for the election (in relation to an attendance election) or the date for the last day of voting (in relation to a postal election) if more candidates are nominated than the number of councillors to be elected, and
give notice of the requirements under the Act for proposals for nomination (including the payment of deposits, the provision of candidate information sheets, the grouping of candidates and the creation of group voting squares).
The notice may contain any other information that the election manager thinks appropriate.
The election manager may also publish notice of an election in any other manner the election manager considers necessary to bring the notice to the attention of members of the public in the area.
