<p>Regional Returning Officers, the Electoral Commission and other organisations such
as the Association of Electoral Administrators and SOLACE are working together to
plan for potential polls on 23 May and dealing with any issues that arise. We are
we are working with them to support the effective delivery of the polls. The European
Parliamentary Elections (Franchise of Relevant Citizens of the Union) Regulations
2001 would have to be amended to alter the deadline for applications and declarations
from relevant EU citizens. These Regulations are made under section 2(2) of the European
Communities Act 1972, and so amending this would require further Regulations under
section 2(2) of that Act. The Electoral Commission is an independent organisation,
any complaints or representations they receive are a matter for them.</p>
