Commentary on Sections Section 5: Revision of procedures in light of report
18.This section ensures that section 11 of the Representation of the People Act 2000, which enables measures piloted under section 10 to be applied generally on a permanent basis to local government elections in England and Wales, amending legislation by means of an order subject to affirmative resolution, may have effect in relation to measures piloted under this Act. So in the future, measures used in these elections may be rolled out to apply to future local government elections.
