Referenda - general information

This section provides information about different types of Referendum which might take place.

UK-wide, national and regional referendums

The Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA) (external link, pdf) establishes a legal framework for the conduct of any referendum held across the UK, or a referendum held in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

It also applies to regional referendums within England.

There are currently no plans for a referendum in the south east.

Other referendums

Referendums are used by local councils to test public opinion on local issues.

There has been one in the Borough, relating to the Horley Masterplan.
