answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2017 answer text <p>In our response to <em>Securing the Ballot</em>, the Government agreed with Sir Eric that voter identification measures should be explored further, as a means of addressing some existing vulnerabilities in the electoral system.</p><p>The Government’s view is that, before any decisions can be taken about the suitability of voter identification to elections in Britain, such measures should first be subject to thorough and rigorous testing in a number of pilot schemes. This will enable us to accurately determine the impact of asking voters to present identification on all aspects of the electoral process, including on such important factors as an elector’s likelihood of turning out.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 16/03/2017 16:00:41 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2017 answer text <p>The Government published its response to <em>Securing the Ballot</em> in December, setting out a clear and comprehensive package for reform of the electoral system that will strengthen the integrity of our electoral processes, and enhance public confidence in our democracy.</p><p> </p><p>“On demand” postal and proxy voting were both considered as part of Sir Eric Pickles’ review, and the response outlines the Government’s position on both issues.</p><p> </p><p>The Government agrees with Sir Eric that requiring postal voters to reapply for their ballot every three years would add rigour to the current process. We intend to consider the practical implications of making such a change, in consultation with the Electoral Commission. We will also be giving careful consideration to strengthening the rules on proxy voting, including by exploring changing the deadline for the registration of an emergency proxy, and clarifying current legislation on proxy voting offences.</p><p> </p><p>Where reforms require primary legislation, the Government is clear that their implementation will depend on the availability of parliamentary time.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 15/03/2017 14:53:06 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
