Local Government Electoral Legislation Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
The single broad policy and purpose of this omnibus bill is to improve the processes by which individuals and communities are represented through, and can participate in, local government elections.MP in charge
