Deputy councillors

Deputy councillors for the local councillors are elected as provided in section 11 of the Local Government Act.

If the number of deputy councillors becomes incomplete during the term of office of the local council, the central municipal election board shall, on the request of the chairperson of the council, appoint new deputy councillors as provided in section 11 of the Local Government Act.

If all deputy councillor seats are not filled under the provisions laid down in this section, the number of deputy councillors remains incomplete.
