EU Referendum: Voter Registration

Debate between Matt Warman and Tom Brake

Thursday 9th June 2016 Commons Chamber

[Tom Brake]

I agree with the hon. Gentleman on the issue of voting at the age of 16 and 17. I also agree that it is time for the Government to initiate trials in relation to online voting.

[Matt Warman]

The right hon. Gentleman read my mind.

Although there are many Members across the House who think that online voting is inevitable, it is crucial that, in a world where we cannot get voting in person right in some parts of the country in the 21st century, we conduct sensible small-scale trials of online voting.
