LegalizeThe European Union Referendum (Conduct) Regulations 2016
In general, the application to the referendum of provisions of the 1983 Act will not affect the referendum so far as it is held in Gibraltar. However, some 1983 Act provisions are modified to reflect the fact that the referendum is taking place in Gibraltar (see, for example, paragraphs 14, 19, 22, and 23 of Schedule 1). Also, paragraph 9 of Schedule 1 provides for the Secretary of State to give a direction to the Gibraltar registration officer under section 52 of the 1983 Act for the purposes of the referendum in the same way as he may give directions to any other registration officer (and paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 provides for relevant subsections of section 52 to extend to Gibraltar).
The application by Schedule 1 of provisions of the 1983 Act to the referendum is in addition to the provisions of that Act that will apply in any event (because eligibility to vote in the referendum follows from eligibility to vote in elections, including parliamentary elections – see section 2 of the 2015 Act).
Schedule 2 applies to the referendum (and modifies in their application to the referendum) provisions of other statutes. They provide for: the attendance of Electoral Commission representatives at referendum proceedings and observation by them of counting officers’ working practices (sections 6A and 6B of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (c.41) (“the 2000 Act”); paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 2); accredited observers at certain proceedings of the Chief Counting Officer or a Regional Counting Officer (sections 6C and 6D of the 2000 Act; paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 2); the provision of expenditure information by counting officers to the Electoral Commission (section 9C of the 2000 Act; paragraph 5 of Schedule 2); the use of publicly funded meeting rooms in Gibraltar by designated organisations (paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act; paragraph 6 of Schedule 2); the use of premises in England and Wales for referendum purposes (section 65(6) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (c.41); paragraph 7 of Schedule 2); and the restriction, to constables, of the power of arrest inside a polling station for the offence of personation (section 71 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (c.22); paragraph 8 of Schedule 2).
Schedule 3 applies to the referendum (and modifies in their application to the referendum) provisions of existing regulations.
Part 1 of Schedule 3 makes provision about the Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/341) and the Representation of the People (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/497). Part 2 makes provision about the Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1741). The three sets of regulations comprise the principal secondary legislation that governs parliamentary elections in the United Kingdom. They prescribe additional detailed rules about absent voting (including about applications to vote by post or proxy and the issue of postal ballots) and access to documents after the referendum. The application, by Schedule 3, of provisions of the regulations to the referendum is in addition to provision of those regulations that will apply in any event.
Part 3 of Schedule 3 applies to the referendum provisions of planning regulations controlling the display of advertisements, with the effect that advertisements relating to the referendum are governed by the same rules as advertisements relating to a pending parliamentary election (see paragraphs 109 to 111 of Schedule 3). Part 3 also applies for the purposes of the referendum regulations providing for persons who have a right of audience before a Gibraltar court or a right to conduct litigation in Gibraltar to have a right or audience before, or right to conduct litigation in, a court in England and Wales (see paragraph 116 of Schedule 3). Part 3 modifies for the purposes of the referendum regulation 2 of the Representation of the People (Provision of Information Regarding Proxies) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/3199) to provide for the sharing of information between registration officers so that they may verify that a proposed proxy in Great Britain is registered as an elector (as required by regulations 64(3) and 65(3) above). Finally, Part 3 of Schedule 3 applies and modifies for the purposes of the referendum regulation 107 of the European Parliamentary Elections Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/293) with the effect that a person convicted of a corrupt or illegal practice under Gibraltar conduct law is subject to the same incapacities as apply to a person convicted under those regulations.
Schedule 4 contains referendum forms, which are referred to in Part 2 of the Regulations and the absent voting rules (in Part 3 of the Regulations).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
