New Zealand Teachers Council Election Rules 2002 (SR 2002/192) (as at 21 June 2002)

Regulation by clause

5 Extraordinary elections to fill vacancies
  • (1) If the seat of a sector representative on the Teachers Council becomes vacant before the expiry of that person's term of office, the Teachers Council must, as soon as practicable after the seat becomes vacant, fix a date for an extraordinary election to replace that sector representative.

    (2) The term of office of a sector representative elected under subclause (1) expires when the former sector representative's term would have expired.

    (3) Despite subclause (1), if the seat of a sector representative becomes vacant within 120 days of the end of that person's term of office, the Teachers Council may postpone holding an election to fill that vacant seat until the triennial election is held under rule 4(2).
