Fógra Toghcháin
Údarás Áitiúil: Comhairle Buirge Chill Chainnigh
Táthar ar tí toghchán a reáchtáil chun comhaltaí a thoghadh don údarás áitiúil atá luaite thuas.
Is féidir páipéir ainmniúcháin a fháil ón seoladh thíos le linn gnáthuaire oifige.
Féadfaidh duine é féin nó í féin a ainmniú mar iarrthóir i dtoghchán nó féadfaidh duine eile (is duine atá cláraithe mar thoghthóir i limistéar an údaráis áitiúil a bhfuil sé beartaithe ag an duine an t-iarrthóir a ainmniú dó), mar mholtóir, é nó í a ainmniú, lena thoiliú nó lena toiliú i scríbhinn.
Ní mór deimhniú cleamhnachta polaitíochta a bheith ag gabháil le páipéar ainmniúcháin ó iarrthóir páirtí polaitíochta cláraithe agus caithfear é a thabhairt ar aird domsa lena fhoirm/lena foirm ainmniúcháin chomhlánaithe.
Mura mbeidh aon deimhniú tugtha ar aird ní mór don iarrthóir, roimh an am is déanaí chun ainmniúcháin a fháil, ceachtar den dá rud seo a dhéanamh -
- cúig aontú dhéag leis an ainmniúchán a fháil trí dhearbhuithe reachtúla ó thoghthóirí rialtais áitiúil a bheidh cláraithe sa toghlimistéar áitiúil ábhartha (tá na foirmeacha ar fáil uaimse nó ón údarás cláraithe), nó
- éarlais de €100 a íoc i gcás toghcháin comhaltaí comhairle chontae nó comhairle chathrach nó €50 i gcás aon toghcháin eile (is féidir éarlais a íoc thar ceann an iarrthóra freisin).
Tá mionsonraí maidir leis na ceanglais seo leagtha amach san Acht Toghcháin (Leasú) 2009.
Is é 12:00 meán lae ar an 16ú Bealtaine 2009 an t-am is déanaí le hainmniúcháin a ghlacadh.
Is féidir leis an iarrthóir nó lena mholtóir/a moltóir páipéir ainmniúcháin chomhlánaithe a sheachadadh chugam i bpearsa tráth ar bith a bhím i m'oifig, ó 10:00 roimh nóin ar an 9ú Bealtaine 2009 go 12:00 meán lae ar an lá is déanaí le hainmniúcháin a ghlacadh.
Tá ceangal orm faoin dlí a bheith i láthair le glacadh le hainmniúcháin idir 10:00 roimh nóin agus 12:00 meán lae, agus idir 2:00 iar nóin agus 5:00 iar nóin ar an Aoine, an 15ú Bealtaine 2009 agus idir 10:00 roimh nóin agus 12:00 meán lae ar an Sathairn, an 16ú Bealtaine 2009.
Má bhíonn toghachán comhraic ann, reáchtálfar vótaíocht an Aoine, an 5ú Meitheamh, idir 7:00 roimh nóin agus 10:00 iar nóin.
