The Representation of the People (Postal Voting for Local Government Elections) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009
These Regulations make changes to give effect to sections 21 to 24 of the Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Act 2006 (asp 14) which provide for enhanced anti-fraud measures when a person applies (under Schedule 4 to the Representation of the People Act 2000 (c. 2)) to vote by post, by proxy, or by post as a proxy as an absent voter. These Regulations deal with the checking of personal identifiers in relation to the counting of postal votes.
