answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>The Returning Officer for Brighton and Hove City Council is responsible for the conduct of elections to the local council, including the arrangements for the issue and receipt of postal votes. The Government recognises the important role that effective mail deliveries have in the overall running of electoral events, and we work with Royal Mail nationally to ensure they have appropriate arrangements in place, though it would not be appropriate for the Secretary of State to take the place of the role of the Returning Officer in relation to a specific, local incident.</p><p>This issue was raised on a 'for information' basis in an email to DLUHC, the Electoral Commission and the Association of Electoral Administrators at official level as part of ongoing dialogue on delivery of elections. Royal Mail subsequently investigated the matter, and we understand they responded directly to the Returning Officer in June 2023 with their findings.</p> answering member constituency North Dorset answering member printed Simon Hoare question first answered 15/04/2024 15:52:39 answering member 4494 label Biography information for Simon Hoare

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government’s position on the franchise remains unchanged. The Government was elected on a manifesto promising to “maintain the voting age at 18 – the age at which one gains full citizenship rights”. 18 has been the well-established age of majority for, for example, jury service, purchasing alcohol, getting married without parental permission, serving in front-line military roles, standing for election as an MP or councillor, and so on.</p><p>The purpose of the electoral register is to enable those who are eligible to vote to register and ensure that only people who are eligible to vote are permitted to do so. Data on those who are not eligible to vote in UK elections is not held centrally.</p> answering member constituency North Dorset answering member printed Simon Hoare grouped question UIN 15004 15005 question first answered 27/02/2024 16:08:42 answering member 4494 label Biography information for Simon Hoare
