These Regulations replace the Local Authorities (Conduct of Referendums)(England) Regulations 2007 to make provision for the conduct of referendums held under Part 1A of the Local Government Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”), or by virtue of regulations or an order made under any provision of that Part. These Regulations only apply in relation to England. The referendums will relate to the question of whether a local authority – a county, district or London borough council – should change their governance arrangements to a different form permitted under section 9B(1) of the 2000 Act.
