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.

As published
9C Removal of anonymous entry
(1) If a person has an anonymous entry in a register maintained by a registration officer in Great Britain, his entitlement to remain registered ... terminates—
(a) at the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the date when the entry in the register first takes effect, or
(b) if the declaration made for the purposes of section 9B is cancelled at any time before the expiry of that 12 month period, at the time when the declaration is cancelled.
(1A) If a person (“P”) has an anonymous entry in a register maintained by the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland, P’s entitlement to remain registered terminates at the end of such period of five years or less beginning with the relevant date, as that officer determines in relation to P.
(1B) But if, at any time before the expiry of the period determined under subsection (1A)—
(a) the declaration made for the purposes of section 9B is cancelled, or
(b) the Chief Electoral Officer determines that the safety test is no longer satisfied,
P’s entitlement to remain registered terminates at that time.
(1C) In subsection (1A) “the relevant date” means—
(a) where P’s anonymous entry is the result of an application under section 9B(1)(a), the date when P’s entry in the register first takes effect; or
(b) where P’s anonymous entry is the result of an application under section 9B(1)(b), the date when the Chief Electoral Officer determines under section 9B(2) that the safety test is satisfied.
(1D) Subsection 9B(10) (meaning of “safety test”) applies for the purposes of subsection (1B) (treating references to the applicant for an anonymous entry as references to P).
(1E) A determination under subsection (1A) or (1B) must be made in accordance with regulations.
(2) This section does not affect the application of any other provision of this Act or of the Representation of the People Act 1985 which has the effect that the person's entitlement to registration terminates before the time at which it would terminate under this section.
(3) If a person's entitlement to remain registered terminates by virtue of this section, the registration officer concerned shall remove his entry from the register, unless he is entitled to remain registered with an anonymous entry in pursuance of ... a further application under section 9B.

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.
