Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where an ERO would be required to send a person a notice under paragraph 14(1) by 31 January 2026—

(a)

that requirement does not apply (and the ERO must send a notice under paragraph 14(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 paragraph 14(6).
