The Northern Ireland (Entry to Negotiations, etc) Act 1996, Chapter 11, enacted on 29 April 1996, outlines the framework for elections in Northern Ireland to select delegates for negotiations aimed at promoting peace. The Act mandates the creation of a forum composed of these delegates to facilitate dialogue and understanding, though it holds no legislative or executive power. It also allows the Secretary of State to call referendums to gauge public opinion on Northern Ireland-related matters and provides for the payment of allowances to delegates. The Act includes detailed provisions on the election process, the role of nominating representatives, and the operational procedures of the forum, with specific schedules addressing the election mechanics and forum structure.
