Report on Interim Electoral Management Board

Report on 2009 European elections and voter material design guidance
We have published our report on the administration of the 4 June 2009 European Parliamentary elections (PDF). Find out more in our news release.
For previous election reports, including the by-elections in Glenrothes and Glasgow East, see our elections reports page.
As part of our work on putting the voter first, we have also launched on our Do Politics site a voter material design resource for electoral administrators and government policy-makers outlining our recommendations on how to make voter materials easier to use.
Performance standards 2009
During the June 2009 elections we collected data on the service that Returning Officers provided to voters in their area. This data is now available on our performance standards pages. A full analysis will be available later this year.
Scotland office our role
Our remit includes elections to the Scottish Parliament, UK Parliament and European Parliament. Responsibility for Scottish local government elections is devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
One of our key aims is to ensure that the views of Scottish stakeholders contribute to all aspects of our work. This ensures that distinctive Scottish procedures and practices are taken into account and reflected in Commission-wide activities.
We also act as a reference point for electors in Scotland. We are available to answer enquiries and requests for advice from the public and relevant organisations on electoral matters.
