The Electoral Law (Polling Station Scheme) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2010
The Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland is required, by virtue of the Electoral Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1962 (“the 1962 Act”), to prepare a polling station scheme every four years for use at local elections in Northern Ireland. That scheme is also applied to parliamentary elections by virtue of the Representation of the People Act 1983. These regulations revoke the Electoral Law (Polling Station Schemes) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1972 and make fresh provision for the preparation of a draft polling station scheme and approval and publication of the final scheme.
