Under section 11(1) of the Electoral Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1962 (c. 14 (N.I.)), elections to district councils in Northern Ireland are to take place every fourth year from 2019. Section 11(1A) states that, in each election year, elections are to take place on the first Thursday in May. This Order amends that provision such that, in 2023, elections to district councils in Northern Ireland are to take place on 18th May (and not on 4th May).
