If a report is made under section 4 above on the conduct of a local government election section 11 of the Representation of the People Act 2000 (c. 2) (revision of procedures in the light of pilot schemes) applies as it applies if a report is made under section 10 of that Act, subject to the following modifications.

The reference in section 11(1) to provision similar to that made by a scheme under section 10 is to be read as a reference to provision similar to that made by a pilot order for the conduct of the local government election.

Subsection (4) of section 11 is to be read as if it required the Secretary of State, when laying a draft of an order under that section, to lay a copy of each report of the Electoral Commission under section 4 above on the conduct of a local government election held in accordance with provision similar to that made by the order.
