Political Parties and Elections Act 2009
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
25 Disposal of election documents in Scotland
In the 1983 Act— (a) in section 63 (breach of official duty), in subsection (3)(b), the words “sheriff clerk,” are omitted; (b) in Schedule 1 (parliamentary elections rules), for rule 58 there is substituted— 58 (1) This rule modifies rules 55 to 57 in relation to elections in Scotland. (2) In relation to such elections— (a) the documents mentioned in rule 55(1)— (i) are not to be forwarded by the returning officer as required by that rule, (ii) instead, are to remain in the returning officer's custody (and be endorsed by the officer as required by that rule); (b) the references in rules 56 and 57 to the relevant registration officer are to be read as references to the returning officer (and rule 55(1A) is to be disregarded); (c) the reference in rule 57(1) to the documents to be retained is to be read as a reference to the documents remaining in the returning officer's custody under sub-paragraph (a)(ii).

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
