EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make provision in relation to proxy voting at certain local government by-elections.

Regulation 2 amends the Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001, so as to provide applicants with additional grounds for applying for emergency proxy votes, or changing their nominated proxy, at these by-elections. These additional grounds relate to persons who are unable to attend a polling station in person as a result of following relevant legislation, guidance or medical advice in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.

(1)

2000 c. 2; relevant amendments to Schedule 4 were made by the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (c. 22), section 14(2)(a) and (8). For the definition of “prescribed” see section 202(1) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (c. 2) read together with paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 4 to the Representation of the People Act 2000.

(2)

Functions of the Secretary of State were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by article 45 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Welsh Ministers (Transfer of Functions) Order 2018 (S.I. 2018/644).

(3)

1983 c. 2; paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 4 to the Representation of the People Act 2000 provides that Schedule 4 shall have effect as if it were contained in Part 1 of the Representation of the People Act 1983.
