The Local Authorities (Elected Mayors) (Elections, Terms of Office and Casual Vacancies) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014
The Local Government Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) provides that a local authority may, or may be required to, hold a referendum on the question of whether it should adopt a mayor and cabinet executive. Where the referendum approves the proposals for such arrangements, a first election for the return of an elected mayor is required.
