The complainant has requested information relating to a recall petition. The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland refused the request, citing the exemption for prohibitions on disclosure (section 44(1)(a)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland has correctly applied section 44(1)(a) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
