EUROPEAN UNION ACT

(CAP. 460)

European Parliament Elections Act

(Amendment No. 2) Order, 2019

IN EXERCISE of the powers conferred by article 4(2) of the

European Union Act, the Prime Minister has made the following

order:-

(1) The title of this order is the European Parliament

Elections Act (Amendment No. 2) Order, 2019, and this order shall be

read and construed as one with the European Parliament Elections Act,

hereinafter referred to as "the principal Act".

(2) The scope of this order is to permit the Electoral

Commission to proceed to delete from the European Union Electoral

Register the registration of voters who are citizens of a State that has

ceased to be a Member of the European Union.

For the purposes of this order, "Electoral Commission" and

"European Union Electoral Register" shall have the same meaning

attributed to them in the principal Act.

Article 16 of the principal Act shall be substituted by the

following

"16. (1) A person whose name appears on the Electoral

Roll may at any time, in writing, request the Electoral

Commission to remove his name from such Electoral Roll and

thereupon his name shall be struck off the Electoral Roll.

(2) In the event that a State ceases to be a Member State

of the European Union, the Electoral Commission shall proceed

to cancel from the European Union Electoral Register any such

persons who are solely registered in that register by virtue of

their being citizens of that state which has ceased to be a member

of the European Union, and this without any further notice or

proceedings.".
