# Representation of the People (Scotland) Regulations 2001, Regulation 60AA: Disapplication of January 2026 fresh signatures requirement


Where a registration officer would be required to send a person, who remains entitled to vote by post (whether as elector or proxy) or by proxy at local government elections in Scotland, a notice under regulation 60A(1) by 31 January 2026—
(a) that requirement does not apply (and the registration officer must send a notice under regulation 60A(1) by 31 January 2027),
(b) the absent voter does not, for that reason, cease to be entitled to vote by post or by proxy for a failure to provide a fresh signature, and
(c) no determination need be made, for that reason, under regulation 60A(6).
