The Parliamentary Writs Order 1983
This Order replaces the Parliamentary Writs Order 1944, which would otherwise have effect as if made under the parliamentary elections rules in Schedule 1 to the Representation of the People Act 1983 (“the elections rules”). Under this Order (which does not extend to Northern Ireland) the manner in which writs for parliamentary elections are to be conveyed in Great Britain will continue to be by post (Article 9).
