European Parliamentary Elections

The House of Lords is due to consider today secondary legislation relating to the European Parliamentary Elections, which take place on June 4th in the UK.

The three motions are -

European Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Regulations 2009 Lord Bach to move that the draft Regulations laid before the House on 24 November 2008 be approved.

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2009/draft/pdf/ukdsi_9780111470459_en.pdf - These amend the European Parliamentary Elections Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/293)(“the 2004 Regulations”), which set out in full how European Parliamentary elections are to be conducted. It's a document worth reading if you enjoy the minutae of the rules governing the conduct of elections.
