This Order appoints 9 March 2021 as the day on which the Candidate Election Expenses (Senedd Elections) Code of Practice 2021 (“the Code of Practice”) comes into force.

The Electoral Commission prepared the Code of Practice and submitted it to the Welsh Ministers for approval. The Welsh Ministers have approved the Code of Practice, which was laid before Senedd Cymru on 20 January 2021.

The Senedd did not resolve not to approve the Code of Practice and as a result, the Welsh Ministers make this Order issuing the Code of Practice, as it was laid before the Senedd.
