11.Part 3 amends the power of the Welsh Ministers in section 13 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’) to make provision by order about the conduct of Senedd Cymru elections. It requires the Welsh Ministers to make provision by order under section 13 of the 2006 Act prohibiting the making or publishing of false or misleading statements of fact before or during an election for the purpose affecting the return of any candidate. It also clarifies the scope of the Welsh Ministers power to define the limits of the required prohibition and removes any doubt as regards other things that may already be provided for in exercise of the power in section 13(1) of the 2006 Act.
