Representation of the People Act 1983

Section 191(2).

SCHEDULE 6 Ward Elections in the City

1 Without prejudice to the application of any provision of this Act to elections in the City by virtue of sections 191 to 196 of this Act, this Schedule has effect as regards the operation of Part II of the [1957 c. x.] City of London (Various Powers) Act 1957 (referred to in this Schedule as " the City Act").

2 Notwithstanding anything in section 6(1) of the City Act—

(a) a person qualified (age apart) to vote as an elector at a ward election shall be entitled to do so if he is of the age of 18 years or over on the date of the poll, except that,

(b) a person registered in the ward list to be used at a ward election shall not be entitled to vote as an elector at the election if his entry in the ward list gives a date later than the date of the poll as the date on which he will attain the age of 18 years.

3 Ward fists and provisional ward lists shall give for any elector the date on which it appears to the town clerk of the City that the elector will attain the age of 18 years, if that date is after the 16th November in the year in which the ward lists are to be published.

4 Claims and objections asking for the omission, insertion or alteration of a date in a ward fist as that on which an elector will attain that age may be made as in the case of claims and objections relating to the inclusion of a person's name in the list, and sections 7(4) and 9 of the City Act shall with any necessary modifications apply accordingly.

5 Any power under this Act to prescribe the form of service declaration may be exercised so as to take account of the difference between the qualifying date under this Act and the qualifying date under the City Act.

6 Nothing in this Act affects the operation of subsections (3) and (4) and paragraph (a) of subsection (5) of section 5 of the [1949 c. 68.] Representation of the People Act 1949 (which contain provisions relating to the yearly value of lands and premises and to cases of their joint occupation) in relation to their application by section 4(2) of the City Act.
