Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he has plans to bring forward legislative proposals to codify the roles and responsibilities of tellers at polling stations.

Guidance on the roles and responsibilities of tellers is already produced by the Electoral
Commission. Tellers must also act in accordance with any further guidance provided by
the relevant Returning Officer or their staff. There are currently no plans to put such
guidance on a statutory footing.
