Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of these Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Mayoral Elections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/1024) which prescribe the rules for the conduct of local mayoral elections in England and Wales.

Regulation 2 makes a modification to section 10(2) and 10(7)(a) and section 11(6) of the Representation of the People Act 2000 as it is to apply in respect of pilot schemes for the conduct of mayoral elections. The regulations which prescribe the procedure for the conduct of mayoral elections are made under the Local Government Act 2000 and so references to this Act have been substituted for the references to the Representation of the People Acts.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
