If the person who is returned at an election as the mayor for the area of a CCA is also returned at an election held at the same time as a councillor of a constituent council, a vacancy arises in the office of councillor.

(2)

If the person who is returned at an election (“the mayoral election”) as the mayor for the area of a CCA —

(a)

is a councillor of a constituent council, and

(b)

was returned as such a councillor at an election held at an earlier time than the mayoral election,

a vacancy arises in the office of councillor.

(3)

Subject to sub-paragraph (4), a person who is elected as the mayor for the area of a CCA may not be a candidate in an election for the return of a councillor or councillors of a constituent council.

(4)

A person who is the mayor for the area of a CCA may be a candidate in an election for the return of a councillor or councillors of a constituent council if the election is held at the same time as an election for the return of the mayor, but sub-paragraph (1) applies if the person is a candidate in both such elections and is returned as the mayor and as a councillor.
