Architects Regulations 2005

The Board is to call for the nomination of registered persons as candidates for election to the office of a Board member under section 7(1)(c) that —

is due to become vacant because the member’s term of office is about to expire by the passage of time; or

becomes vacant under Schedule 1 clause 3 of the Act.

For the purposes of subregulation (1) the Board must send to each registered person —

a nomination paper, in a form approved by the Board, for the registered person to nominate himself or herself as a candidate for election to the office; and

written notice —

of the number of members to be elected under section 7(1)(c) in the particular election; and

of the period for which the successful candidate is to hold office; and

of the time by which nominations are to be received by the Board; and

of the return day; and

that a nomination will not be accepted unless the candidate provides, for inclusion with the voting papers, a statement about the nominee’s qualifications, experience and reasons for nomination.

The nomination paper and notices are to be sent to the registered person’s registered address —

in the case of an office mentioned in subregulation (1)(a), at least 60 days before the day on which the term of office is due to expire; or

in the case of an office mentioned in subregulation (1)(b), as soon as is practicable after the office becomes vacant.
