# The Local Government (Changes in Electoral Arrangements) Regulations 1985, Note: Explanatory note


These Regulations apply where an order made under Part IV of the Local Government Act 1972 which makes substantive changes to the electoral arrangements for a principal area comes into full operation on a day other than one on which an ordinary election of councillors is held. Regulation 2 continues the previous electoral arrangements in force for the purposes of elections to fill casual vacancies until the holding of such an ordinary election. Regulation 3 provides for the re-arrangement of the register of electors in respect of any such election to fill a casual vacancy.
