Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Welsh Elections Information Platform Regulations 2025 (“the 2025 Regulations”).

These Regulations replace references to an order under section 13 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 in the 2025 Regulations to instead insert the particular corresponding provisions of the Senedd Cymru (Representation of the People) Order 2025 (S.I. 2025/864) (W. 150).

These Regulations also make amendments to the definition of “candidate” to more clearly differentiate between individual and party list candidates, and remove the condition regarding the font style of a candidate statement.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
