To provide a system over which there are doubts, for any type of statutory election, would undermine the value of the votes cast in those polls.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 27/11/2017 14:27:17 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

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
