New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
(1) If, in the opinion of the returning officer, an irregularity occurred that may have materially affected the result of the election, the returning officer may—
(a) recount the votes; or
(b) notify the Teachers Council that another election must be held.
(2) Any person who is declared to have been elected before a recount of votes under subclause (1)(a), but who is found not to have been the candidate who received the greatest number of valid votes after that recount, is deemed to have resigned his or her seat on the Teachers Council, and the candidate who received the greatest number of valid votes after the recount is elected.
(3) If subclause (1) applies, and if the irregularity that occurred was attributable to a teacher acting otherwise than in good faith, the returning officer must advise the Teachers Council of the name of the teacher who acted otherwise than in good faith.
