21 Procedure for determination of ineligibility following response to communications

(1) This regulation applies where— (a) a relevant person has responded to a notice, notification or request under regulations 16 to 19 or has provided requested information in response to the registration officer making contact with that person, and (b) the registration officer is not satisfied that the relevant person continues to satisfy the eligibility criteria. (2) The registration officer must send a notice to the relevant person’s address, which must— (a) state the date of issue of the notice, (b) advise that eligibility criteria under section 52 of the 2011 Act for a citizen of a member State to vote in PCC elections have changed, (c) state that the registration officer is of the opinion that the relevant person has ceased to satisfy the eligibility criteria, and the grounds for the registration officer’s opinion, (d) state that eligibility to vote in PCC elections in Wales is unrelated to eligibility to register and vote in local government elections in Wales, (e) state that if the relevant person does not notify the registration officer within 14 days beginning with the date of issue that the relevant person requires the review to be heard— (i) the registration officer may determine that the relevant person is not eligible to vote in a PCC election, and (ii) the relevant person would not be entitled to appeal against the registration officer’s determination in those circumstances. (3) The relevant person is entitled to require the review to be heard by notifying the registration officer within 14 days beginning with the date of issue of the notice sent under paragraph (2), and where the relevant person does so the following provisions of the 2001 Regulations apply— (a) regulation 31F(2) to (7), and (b) regulation 31FZA(1), which applies as if the reference to regulation 31D(2) were a reference to a notice under paragraph (2). (4) The registration officer may determine that the relevant person has ceased to satisfy the eligibility criteria where— (a) the registration officer has delivered the notice under paragraph (2), and (b) the relevant person has not requested a hearing within 14 days beginning with the date of that notice.

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.
