Article 15 Expiry of certain devolved postal vote entitlements
This article applies where, immediately before the relevant day a person (“P”) has a relevant devolved election postal vote entitlement lasting for—
an indefinite period, or
a period that would expire after the third 31 January following the relevant day.
Unless it ends sooner, P’s relevant devolved election postal vote entitlement ends on—
the transitional expiry date, or
if applicable and later the reserved expiry date.
As soon as practicable after the relevant day, the ERO must update—
the records, as applicable to P, kept under article 8(4) or 11(5) of the 2015 Order,
the postal voters list or the proxy postal voters list, as applicable to P, kept under article 8(5) or 11(7) of the 2015 Order,
to reflect any change in the period for which P’s relevant devolved election postal vote entitlement lasts due to the operation of paragraph (2).
Before the date on which P’s relevant devolved election postal vote entitlement is to end due to the operation of paragraph (2), the ERO must send P, at P’s qualifying address—
a notice informing P of the date on which P’s relevant devolved election postal vote entitlement is to end, and
information about how to make a fresh application to vote by post (as elector or as proxy).
Where, due to the operation of paragraph (2), P’s relevant devolved election postal vote entitlement is to end on the signature refresh date any requirement to send a paragraph 14 notice by the signature refresh date does not apply.
