EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make amendments to the Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/341) and to the Representation of the People (Combination of Polls) (England and Wales) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/294).

Regulation 2(2), (3) and (4)(a) amend the 2001 Regulations, and regulation 3 amends the 2004 Regulations, to remove provisions inserted by the Representation of the People (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations (S.I. 2006/2910) and the Representation of the Pople (Combination of Polls) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/3278) which were made in anticipation of the intended commencement on 1 January 2007 of the provisions in the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (c. 22) which require a voter to provide a signature to confirm that he has received a ballot paper. The commencement of the relevant provisions of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 has been delayed and the 2001 and 2004 Regulations are modified accordingly.

The remaining provisions of regulation 2 correct drafting errors introduced by the Representation of the People (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2006.
