“I think you are one of the few authorities that have repeatedly and brazenly broken the law” , MP tells EDDC’s ERO

When asked today by the Parliamentary Select Committee whether his council’s scrutiny committee had expressed concerns about his performance,  EDDC’s Chief Executive, Mark Williams, who is also its Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) ,  replied,  “Not hitherto”. “There’s nobody else overseeing you,” was the swift retort from one MP.

One thought on ““I think you are one of the few authorities that have repeatedly and brazenly broken the law” , MP tells EDDC’s ERO”

  1. So, two birds criticised with one comment from the Parliamentary Select Committee:

    The EDDC Scrutiny Committee is not doing its job of holding the ERO (and CEO) to account.

    The Electoral Commission is not doing its job properly of making sure that EROs do their job properly.

    Blind leading the blind?
    Incompetent leading the incompetent?
