answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to building a democracy that works for everyone. To promote democratic engagement, National Democracy Week was held in July 2018 and the Cabinet Office is leading on three projects funded by the Suffrage Centenary Fund Programme. These are the Democracy Ambassadors Scheme to recruit and train youth democracy ambassadors, the development and publication of a toolkit for parliamentarians to engage young people, and a new secondary schools resource which will be released later this year.</p><p> </p><p>More widely, on 30 August 2018 the Government published the response to its Call for Evidence on Access to Elections. This includes a series of actions to be taken forward to remove identified barriers to further support disabled people to participate in elections.</p><p> </p><p>We also expect to boost democratic participation through work on voter identification and the measures proposed in the Government’s consultation “Protecting the Debate: Intimidation, Influence and Information.” Democratic participation is more likely when citizens can cast their vote in confidence. Proposed measures to tackle intimidation will help ensure voters can make a free choice at the ballot box, based on an informed discussion focused on policy and principle, rather than on misinformation or abuse.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 20/09/2018 13:12:19 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government has no intention of mandating postal votes for local and parish council elections. It is the Government’s position that electors should have the choice between voting in person, by proxy or through a postal vote.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Furthermore, mandating postal voting in any poll would require all electors to provide ‘postal vote identifiers’ (e.g. signature and date of birth as are used now) to support voters securely casting a postal ballot. The Government is concerned that this would suppress turnout, and that mandating postal voting for a particular type of poll would ultimately prejudice some electors by making it harder for them to vote.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 30/11/2017 11:18:10 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
