Representation of the People Act 1983
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
46 Further provision as to local election voting in England.
(1) At a local government election for any electoral area no person shall as an elector and no person shall as proxy for any one elector— (a) give more than one vote for any one candidate; or (b) give more votes in all than the total number of councillors to be elected for the electoral area in England. but this subsection does not apply in relation to Authority elections (where the votes allowed to be given are as specified in the applicable provisions of section 4, 10 or 16 of the 1999 Act). (2) No person is subject to any incapacity to vote at a local government election in England by reason of his being or acting as returning officer at that election.

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.
