Part 6: Information to be included with Electronic Material Requirements Section 53: Supply of information
Section 53(1) introduces Schedule 12 making provision about the supply of information for the purposes of this Part.
	Section 53(2) makes provision for paragraphs 3 to 13 and 15 of Schedule 19B to PPERA (i.e., the Electoral Commission’s investigatory powers) to be available to the Electoral Commission for section 50(2)(a) and (b) offences.
	Schedule 12 places a general duty on any person, (which includes organisations such as social media companies) to share information with the relevant enforcer (either the Electoral Commission or police) when requested for the enforcement of digital imprints only. This is to assist the Electoral Commission and the police’s ability to enforce the digital imprints regime by providing specified information to determine whether material is in scope of the regime or not. An information or electronic material disclosure order may be sought from a court where the requested information is not supplied.
