Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing an attestation arrangement for postal vote applications requiring a signature waiver.

Sir Eric Pickles’ review of Electoral Fraud, published in August 2016, recommended
introducing an attestation requirement for postal vote applications requiring a signature
waiver

The Government supports this recommendation and will be seeking to consider, in
conjunction with the Association of Electoral Administrators and the Electoral Commission,
how this might be implemented in due course.
