<p>The Procedure and Privileges Committee agreed on 2 March that the forthcoming hereditary
peer by-elections to replace the Earl of Selborne, Lord Denham, Lord Selsdon, the
Countess of Mar, Lord Rea and Lord Elton should be carried out using electronic means.
Electors will vote using a secure on-line portal. The count will be an electronic
process with the manual addition of a small number of postal ballots. There are no
plans to allow media access to the count as it is an electronic process. Full details
of the results will be available to the media and other interested parties on-line
after the result has been announced in the Chamber.</p>
