These Regulations amend the Business Improvement Districts (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”). Schedule 2 of the 2007 Regulations sets out rules and procedures for holding business improvement district ballots, renewal ballots, and alteration ballots.
Regulation 2(2)(a) provides that the ballot holder must secure that the day of the ballot is at least 42 days after, but no more than 90 days after, the date on which a notice is published, stating the day of the ballot and that the ballot will be by post. This clarifies the required timing between the notice and the ballot date, and corrects a drafting error.
Regulation 2(2)(b) amends paragraph 10(2)(b) of Schedule 2 to the 2007 Regulations which provides that (apart from where there is a proxy voting) the ballot paper is to be sent to the address of the relevant property or principal place of business in Scotland of the person voting. The amendment removes the restriction that the principal place of business (for the purpose of sending the paper) must be within Scotland.
