Part 5: Disqualification of offenders for holding elective office etc Section 33: Holders of relevant elective offices
Section 33 describes the second category of persons referred to in section 30 as holders of a relevant elective office or a relevant Scottish elective office (these offices are listed in section 37).
	The terms of some relevant elective offices do not commence immediately after the results of an election to that office have been declared: several days can pass between election and the start of a term of office. Subsection (2) clarifies that a person elected to such an office is treated as a "holder of a relevant elective office" for these purposes from the time of their successful election even if their term of office has not yet commenced.
