EXPLANATORY NOTE

Article 23 provides that a constituency or a regional returning officer is entitled to recover charges in respect of services rendered or expenses incurred in connection with an Assembly election.
Article 3(2) amends article 2 of the 2016 Order by removing the definition of “PCC election”.
Article 3(3) amends articles 4, 5(1), 6(1), 7, 8(1) and 9(1) of the 2016 Order by removing references to Police and Crime Commissioner elections (referred to in the 2016 Order as a PCC election).
