Recommendation (the Committee's words)
The government should clarify in legislation the scope of the law on issues-based campaigns. The aim should be to provide campaigners with greater confidence that campaign activity from before an election is called is unlikely to meet the ‘purpose test’ of promoting electoral success if that activity does not focus on candidates or parties and does not mention voting or elections.
