The Government is committed to making sure that our electoral system is fit for the future. Vulnerabilities cannot be allowed to undermine the integrity of our democracy.

The accounting process is being completed for the cost of each local authority pilot.

As set out ahead of the pilots, funding for the net additional costs of piloting is provided by the Cabinet Office.
