The Hampshire and the Solent Combined County Authority Regulations 2026
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

(1) There is to be a mayor for the Area. (2) The first election for the return of the mayor is to take place on 4th May 2028. (3) Subsequent elections for the return of the mayor must take place in every fourth year thereafter on the same day as the ordinary day of election. (4) The term of office of the mayor returned at an election for the return of the mayor in 2028— (a) begins with 8th May 2028, and (b) ends, subject to paragraph (8), with the third day after the day of the poll at the next election for the return of the mayor.

(6) In this regulation “the ordinary day of election” in relation to any year means the day which is the ordinary day of election in that year of councillors for counties and districts in England as determined in accordance with section 37 of the Representation of the People Act 1983. (7) Where for the purposes of paragraph (5)(a) the fourth day would otherwise be a Saturday, Sunday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Good Friday, a bank holiday under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 in England and Wales or a day appointed as a day of public thanksgiving or mourning, the fourth day is instead deemed to be the first day thereafter which is not one of those specified days.

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.
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.
