Rule 70 Retention and destruction of documents forwarded to relevant registration officerI1

The relevant registration officer must retain all documents forwarded under rule 67 for a period of one year beginning with the day on which they were received by the registration officer.

At the end of that period of one year, the relevant registration officer must cause the documents to be destroyed unless otherwise directed by an order of a county court, the High Court, the Crown Court, a magistrates’ court or an election court.

Notwithstanding the revocation of the National Assembly for Wales (Representation of the People) Order 2007^f1, rule 69 of Schedule 5 to that Order continues to have effect in relation to documents forwarded to the relevant registration officer in accordance with that Schedule and to which rule 69 applied.
