Similarly, a registered political party may only enter into a regulated transaction (as defined by section 71F of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (c. 41) as inserted by section 61 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (c. 22)) with an individual if that individual is registered in an electoral register.\nThese Regulations prescribe the form of evidence required to establish that a donor or lender who has an anonymous entry in an electoral register is indeed a registered elector in the UK.\nRegulation 2 provides that the prescribed form of evidence is a certificate of anonymous registration issued to a person with an anonymous entry in an electoral register in Northern Ireland, in England and Wales, or in Scotland.\nRegulation 3 revokes the existing provisions in England and Wales and Scotland.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
