In relation to a recall poll in a Senedd constituency, it is the constituency returning officer’s general duty to do anything necessary for effectually conducting the recall poll in accordance with this Act and regulations made under it.

A constituency returning officer may appoint one or more deputies to perform any or all of the officer’s functions under or by virtue of this Act.

Each county or county borough council whose area falls wholly or partly within the Senedd constituency to which a recall poll applies must place the services of its officers at the disposal of the constituency returning officer for the purpose of assisting the constituency returning officer in the performance of the officer’s functions under or by virtue of this Act.

In this Act, “constituency returning officer”, in relation to a Senedd constituency, means the person designated as the returning officer for the constituency in accordance with an order under section 13 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32) (power of the Welsh Ministers to make provision about elections etc.).
