Elections Act 2001
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
6 Compensation
(1) The Secretary of State may— (a) make a scheme for compensating any local authority which, or candidate who, incurs additional expenditure as a result of any provision of, or made under, this Act, and (b) make payments in accordance with the scheme. (2) Claims for compensation must be made in accordance with the scheme. (3) The scheme may provide that in the case of a candidate for a registered political party any payment of compensation may be made to that party rather than to the candidate. (4) The Secretary of State’s expenditure under this section is to be paid out of money provided by Parliament. (5) “Registered political party” has such meaning as may be specified in the scheme.

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.
