RSS presses for policy change re: stats releases on polling days

The RSS has helped to amend a UK Statistics Authority policy regarding the publishing of official statistics during election days.

The official policy has been, and still is, to ensure that statistics aren’t published on long-planned election days. However, if a snap election is called, decisions have to be made about when to publish the statistical releases planned for that day. Previously, the policy stated that, ‘Statistics with a high level of public interest should be brought forward to the day before polling day, or if that is unfeasible, then they can be delayed until the next day.’
