These Regulations bring into force amendments from the Absent Voting (Elections in Scotland and Wales) Act 2025 that restrict the maximum length of time individuals can hold entitlements to vote by post in local government elections in Scotland and Wales. The changes also apply equivalent restrictions to proxy postal voting entitlements for the same elections. These provisions complete the commencement of the 2025 Act, which partially came into force on Royal Assent.
