answer text <p>Electronic voting was used for 10 divisions between 12 May and 20 May inclusive. Members voted using MemberHub. The Public Bill Office operated a back-up system: if a Member could not register their vote using MemberHub, they contacted the Public Bill Office during the division and their vote was recorded. The table below shows how many Members registered their vote using the back-up method, and the total number of votes cast in each division.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Date</p></td><td><p>Division number</p></td><td><p>Total votes cast</p></td><td><p>Votes cast using back-up system</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12 May 2020</p></td><td><p>41</p></td><td><p>611</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13 May 2020</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>605</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>43</p></td><td><p>574</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>44</p></td><td><p>419</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>45</p></td><td><p>571</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>18 May 2020</p></td><td><p>46</p></td><td><p>603</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>20 May 2020</p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>608</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>48</p></td><td><p>614</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>49</p></td><td><p>609</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>585</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br>The Commission received an update on the House Service’s response to the pandemic at its meeting on 11 January, and agreed a number of measures to further improve the safety of people on the Parliamentary estate. Electronic voting was raised at the meeting, and there is a range of views among Commissioners on this issue. However, the means by which Divisions are conducted are ultimately a matter for the House to determine.</p>
