The Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Regulations 2018

These Regulations amend the Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1741) (“the 2008 Regulations”) in relation to the evidence which can be used in support of an application for anonymous registration. Part 3 of the 2008 Regulations makes provision about registration for elections in Northern Ireland in relation to the register of Parliamentary electors and the register of local electors. A person's ability to vote in Northern Ireland Assembly elections depends on them being able to vote in a district council election in Northern Ireland (see Article 4 of the Northern Ireland Assembly (Elections) Order 2001, S.I. 2001/2599).
