The Representation of the People (Provision of Information Regarding Proxies) Regulations 2013

These Regulations enable registration officers in Great Britain to require other registration officers in Great Britain or Northern Ireland to provide information about whether a person, whom an absent voter wishes to appoint as their proxy, has or will have an entry in a register of parliamentary or local government electors maintained by that officer. This will enable registration officers to ensure that the appointment complies with paragraph 6(3) or (3A) of Schedule 4 to the Representation of the People Act 2000.
