FÓGRA TOGHCHÁIN
Údarás Áitiúil:    Cómhairle Bhaile Nás Na Ríogh

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 tiarrthóir 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 toghlímistéar áitiúil ábhartha (tá na foirmeacha ar fail 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 meánlae an 16^th lá de Bealtaine 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 am an 9^th lá de Bealtaine go 12 meánlae ar an lá is déanaí le hainmniúcháin a ghlacadh.

Tá ceangal orm faoin dlí I láthair le glacadh le hainmniúcháin idir 10am agus 12 meán lae agus idir 2pm agus 5pm an 15^th lá de Bealtaine, 2009 agus idir 10am agus 12 meán lae an 16^th lá de Bealtaine, 2009.
