However, there was an administrative error during the renumbering process in that the cross-references in section 2(2) to renumbered provisions were not updated. ‘(2) To remove any doubt, it is also declared that the LocalGovernment Electoral Act 2011 has effect, and has always had effect, as if section 2(2) of the Act read— ‘The following provisions commence on a day to be fixed by proclamation— • part 12, divisions 2, 3, 11, 12, 14 and 16 • sections 315 and 342.’.
