When a person is a councillor, he/she is first and foremost the holder of a public office. Legislation dictates the term of his/her office, the conduct expected of her/him when she/he is acting as a representative of the local council and her/his role in making decisions about council business. Once elected, the normal term of office for a councillor is four years.
A person is eligible to become a councillor if he/she is at least 18 years old and:
- he is and thereafter continues to be a local government elector in the council’s area; or
- he has during the 12 months preceding that day occupied as owner or tenant any premises in the council’s area; or
- his principal or only place of work during that 12 months has been in the council’s area; or
- during the whole of those 12 months he has resided either in the council’s area or within three miles of it.
