Propose a change

The Representation of the People (Postal Vote Handling etc.) (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Regulations 2024

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

17 Transitional provision for persons elected following a re-run election

(1) This regulation applies where— (a) a person (“P”) is duly elected at an Assembly election which is a re-run election, and (b) apart from this regulation, P would be disqualified from holding the office as a result of the coming into force of paragraph 10 of Schedule 8 to the Elections Act 2022 (amendment of the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972). (2) The coming into force of paragraph 10 of Schedule 8 to the Elections Act 2022 does not affect P’s qualification to hold the office until the end of the term in the office for which P was duly elected at the re-run election. (3) In this regulation, “Assembly election” and “re-run election” have the same meaning as in regulation 16.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
