Description: | To deliver the Government Manifesto commitments (General Election 2019) around the integrity of the UK electoral system. The programme will deliver policy outcomes in three core areas: 1) Voter ID, 2) Overseas Electors, and 3) Campaigning Measures. The collective outcome of these policy measures will be increased public confidence in the security and integrity of the UK's elections, and enfranchisement of all eligible electors living overseas. |
DCA (RAG) | Amber/Red |
DCA text: | The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber/red.This is primarily due to the following factors: The programme is currently delivering in line with agreed timelines and milestones, but is carrying significant risk to delivery. Scope creep impacts upon finite resource places the quality of the Elections Bill at risk. The provisional settlement under the current one-year Spending Review has seen the programme secure the required non-pay funding for 2021/22, and 45 of the 48 requested posts have been funded. However, it will take the programme time to get approval for and recruit resource permitted by the funded template and sufficient to plan and manage business-change effectively. Furthermore, the uncertainty over funding for subsequent years adds uncertainty over the life of the programme (2024) which will need to be managed as best possible in the very short term. If we do not secure funding we will need to look again at the scope of the programme. Should the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011 be repealed and an early General Election be called, the success of the implementation of the business changes arising from the Bill measures would be put at risk. |
Start date | 2017-01-11 |
End date | 2024-12-31 |
Schedule text | The project end-date is 31 December 2024. This is primarily due to the following factors: The programme needs to deliver all of the changes into the electoral sector to realise its intended outcomes and associated benefits before the next General Election. The programme has assumed that this will be May 2024. The programme will incrementally implement the business changes arising from the new legislation for use in elections held in May 2023 and May 2024. |

This is primarily due to the following factors: The current Forecast Whole Life cost is based on the combined costs from the approved Full Business Case for the Voter ID Project, and the Overseas Electors Project's Strategic Outline Case. This will be updated as subsequent business cases for other projects within the programme are finalised. |
