Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the implications are for the Government's policies of recommendation 9 of the report of the Association of Electoral Administrators entitled It’s time for urgent and positive Government action: The AEA’s review of the 2017 local government elections and the UK Parliamentary general election, published in September 2017, on the Government introducing an electronic system for the delivery, receipt and return of the Writ at UK parliamentary elections.

The Law Commission has similarly recommended that the writ should be capable of communication by electronic means in its interim report on its review of electoral law. The Government is continuing its work with the Law Commission following their report.
