Local Government (Elections) Act 1999

If a person who is required to furnish a return under section 81A fails to submit the return within the time required by that section, the returning officer must as soon as practicable notify the person of that fact.

A notification under subsection (1) must be given by letter sent to the person by registered mail.

If a notification under subsection (1) is sent to a member of a council and the return to which the notification relates has not been furnished to the returning officer within 1 month after the time within which it was required to be furnished under this Division, the returning officer must send a copy of the notification to the chief executive officer of the council (in such manner as the returning officer thinks fit).

A failure of a person to comply with a provision of this Division in relation to an election does not invalidate that election.
