Recommendation 22
22
Develop guidance and plans to mitigate difficulties from awkwardly timed general elections.
Conclusion
Given this we hope that the Electoral Commission and others may be able to learn lessons from the July General Election and produce guidance and plans so that some of the difficulties experienced at this election might be mitigated against or at least better prepared for going forward, should another awkwardly timed General Election be called. (Recommendation, Paragraph 73)
