The same obligation is applicable to the regional advisors, to the executive advisors of Corsica, to the general advisors of the departments, of Mayotte and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon to the deputy-mayors of communes of more than 100 000 inhabitants, if they are holders of a delegation of the signature of president of the regional council, the president of the executive council, the president of the general council or the mayor, in the conditions imposed by the law.

The delegations of signature shall be notified without delay by the executive of each territorial community to the president of the commission established in article 3.

The same obligation is applicable to each of the persons subject to the provisions of the first two paragraphs of the present article at least two months before the regular date of expiration of its mandate or office or, in case of resignation, revocation or dissolution of the assembly it presides within the first two months following the end of its office.

However, no other new declaration is required of the person who has established for less than six months a declaration of its situation of assets pursuant to the article L.O. 135-1 of the electoral code, of the 1st article of the present law or of the present article.

For the application of the present article, the population taken into account is the one resulting from the last national census known at the moment of the municipal council renewal.
