The Electoral Registration Pilot Scheme (England) (Amendment) Order 2017

This Order amends the Electoral Registration Pilot Scheme (England) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/739) (“the 2016 Order”) to extend the period of the pilot for a further year. The 2016 Order gives greater discretion to Electoral Registration Officers in the specified areas as to how they conduct their annual canvass under section 9D of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (c. 2). By extending the period of the pilot, this Order will enable them to test these methods for a second year running.
