Clause 23 - Description of independent candidates
Electoral Administration Bill

The chief executive of Denbighshire county council has written to point out that the terminology in the Bill is incorrect. The word that needs to be replaced is ''Annibynnwr'', as a description of an independent candidate in Wales. That should be ''Annibynnol'', in line with all the other electoral registration, whereas ''Annibynnwr'' is a member of an independent chapel.
