  • 1981년 국민대표조례(Representation of the People Act 1981)는 영국 의회의 의회제정법 중 하나이다. 브리튼 섬 또는 아일랜드에 소재한 아무 감옥에서 징역 1년형 이상을 복역중인 사람은 하원 의원 후보로 출마할 수 없다는 것이 법의 골자이다. 이는 1981년 4월 보궐선거에서 아일랜드 단식투쟁 참여자 바비 샌즈가 당선되자 웨스트민스터 측에서 어마뜨거라 하고 통과시킨 법이다. 이 법 때문에 샌즈가 굶어죽은 뒤 샌즈의 동료 수감자들이 제2차 보궐선거에 출마하는 것을 막을 수 있었다. 그러나 제1차 보궐 때 샌즈의 선거운동원이었던 이 당선되었기에 결과적으로 아일랜드 공화주의자의 의회진출을 막으려던 영국의 의도는 무위로 돌아갔다.

  • Durch den Representation of the People Act 1981, ein am 2. Juli 1981 in Kraft getretenes britischen Gesetz, wurde eine Wahlrechtsänderung festgeschrieben, die künftig verhindern sollte, dass im Gefängnis festgesetzte Häftlinge paramilitärischer Republikaner Nordirlands künftig zur Wahl ins Britische Unterhaus kandidieren können. Der konkrete Anlass der Wahlrechtsänderung war der Wahlsieg des inhaftierten IRA-Mitglieds Bobby Sands im Maze Prison, der im April 1981 ins britische Unterhaus gewählt wurde und 26 Tage nach seinem Wahlsieg im nordirischen Wahlkreis Fermanagh and South Tyrone an den Folgen seines politisch motivierten Hungerstreiks starb. Der Streik hatte die Wiedererlangung des Status eines politischen Häftlings zum Ziel, dem nordirischen Special Category Status. In dem britischen Wahlgesetz von 1981 ist festgeschrieben, dass keine Person bei britischen Unterhauswahlen kandidieren kann, die wegen einer Straftat in Großbritannien oder in der Republik Irland zu mehr als einem Jahr Gefängnis in der Vergangenheit verurteilt wurde oder während einer stattfindenden Wahl verurteilt wird. Dies gilt in gleicher Weise auch für gewählte Mitglieder des Unterhauses. Wegen dieses Gesetzes konnte kein Häftling mehr kandidieren und es wurde Owen Carron als Kompromisskandidat der nationalen Kräfte in Nordirland aufgestellt, der aus seiner Sympathie für die Sinn Féin kein Geheimnis machte und die Nachwahl in Fermanagh & South Tyrone mit großer Mehrheit gewann.

The text of the Act states that it provides: 1. * for the disqualification from membership of the House of Commons of any person who is detained anywhere in the British Islands or the Republic of Ireland (or who is unlawfully at large at any time when he would otherwise be detained) for more than a year for any offence, 2. * that the election or nomination of such persons shall be void, and 3. * that the seat of a Member who becomes so disqualified shall be vacated. Following the passage of the Recall of MPs Act 2015, sitting MPs imprisoned on shorter sentences can be removed from their seats via recall petitions. (en)
