# The Parliamentary Elections (Welsh Forms) (Amendment) Order 2023, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Parliamentary Elections (Welsh Forms) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/1014) (“the 2007 Order”) to correct errors identified in the Parliamentary Elections (Welsh Forms) (Amendment) Order 2022 (S.I. 2022/1402) (“the 2022 Order”) by the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments in their Twenty-Sixth Report of Session 2022-23 (the report can be viewed at https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/33949/documents/186164/default/).
Article 2(2) amends article 6(1) of the 2007 Order to insert a reference to sub-paragraph (t), which was inserted by the 2022 Order, and to correct a typographical error in that sub-paragraph.
Article 2(3) substitutes an updated version of the prescribed form of the Welsh and English version of the official proxy poll card for use in relation to parliamentary elections in Wales. This updated version replaces the version set out in Schedule 2 to the 2022 Order, which did not contain all the information contained in the English version.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
