Summary/Abstract: The mandate of a councillor elected as a Deputy expires by virtue of law. A Deputy is not obliged to resign in this respect. The electoral commissioner declares the expiry of the mandate by means of a decision. In the absence of a clear time limit indicated in the Act, Deputies should be advised to resign by the date they take up their mandate. If a Deputy does not resign, he or she will lose his or her office by virtue of law three months after taking the Deputy’s oath.
