Claim: The next electoral canvass in Northern Ireland must be completed before 2023, ten years after the 2013 canvass.
Fact-check: Must the next electoral canvass be done by 2023? - FactCheckNI
Verdict: inaccurate with consideration. legislation lists the years in which a canvass must be completed. it is specific that a canvass is due in 2021, with the subsequent one in 2030 and then every following ten years unless the act is amended. an ad hoc canvass in intervening years does not reset the need for these end of decade canvasses.
