The Act changes electoral procedures in relation to registration and absent voting and allows for experiments involving innovative procedures. It also makes some changes to make it easier for the disabled to vote and to create an offence of supplying false particulars on a nomination form. Candidates in the first election for the Mayor of London will be allowed to include an election address in a booklet delivered on behalf of the Greater London returning officer.
