Local Authority Powers (Election Campaigns) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would give local councils (the authorities that run services in your area) greater legal powers to run their own election campaigns and encourage people to vote in local elections. Currently, councils have limited ability to do this, so the bill would expand what they're allowed to do.

Presented by Mr Tobias Ellwood.
