Elections (Northern Ireland) Act 1985
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
5 Elections other than parliamentary.
(1) Without prejudice to the generality of section 38(1) of the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973 (power by Order in Council to provide for local authority elections, but not the franchise) an Order in Council under it may contain provisions corresponding to any of those of sections 1 to 3 of this Act; and in section 38(1)(a) the words “(but not the franchise)”, and the Electoral Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1962, shall have effect subject to that. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of section 2(5) of the Northern Ireland Assembly Act 1973 (power to make by order provision concerning elections to Assembly, including provision as to franchise) any order under it may contain provisions corresponding to any of those of sections 1 to 3 of this Act. (3) Paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 1 to the European Parliamentary Election Act 1978 (person entitled to vote if he would be entitled at parliamentary or local election) shall have effect subject to anything in regulations under paragraph 2 (conduct of elections) which applies or corresponds to any of the provisions of sections 1 to 3 of this Act; but otherwise those provisions, and any provision corresponding to any of them, shall be ignored in construing paragraph 2(1).

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.
