Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to simplify electoral law.

We are working with the Law Commissions on how best to implement the recommendations of their review of electoral law.

We have agreed with the Law Commissions and key electoral stakeholders possible means of effecting reform through the drafting of secondary legislation. Work is underway on this by the Law Commissions, who will be supported by Cabinet Office and the Electoral Commission.
