  "long_title": "These Regulations amend the Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2001 (“the principal Regulations”). Regulation 4 of these Regulations prescribes the form of annual canvass for the purposes of section 10(4) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (“the 1983 Act”), as substituted by Schedule 1 to the Representation of the People Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”). The form of canvass which is specified by regulation 4 of, and Schedule 2 to, these Regulations takes account of the requirements of section 10(4A) of the 1983 Act, as inserted by section 1(2) of the Electoral Fraud (Northern Ireland) Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”). The set of regulations prescribing the existing form of canvass is revoked by regulation 3(2)(d) of these Regulations.",
