    AGENDA ITEM

2020/01    Election of Chair
In accordance with the Local Government Act 1972  ss 15 (2) and 34 (2) to elect a Chair of the Parish Council for the municipal year 2020/2021.

Members are referred to the below guidance:
•    The current Chair, Cllr Noble, will call for nominations as the first item of business.
•    Any nomination must be seconded before it can be put to the vote.
•    Should there be more than one nomination a ballot will be conducted.  
•    The elected Chair will need to obtain an absolute majority of those present and voting – for example, Southwick PC has eleven members so the successful candidate would need to obtain six votes ( if all members are present).
•    In the event that a candidate does not achieve this in the first round of voting the candidate with the lowest number of votes drops off and the vote is taken again.  
•    Where there is a tie in the election of the chairman, the preson presiding is required by law to give his casting vote one way or the other.  The chairman does not have a casting vote if he is presiding over the election of a new chairman as his last act before ceasing to be a member of the council. (Arnold Baker section 8.4).
