Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether Crown Servants living outside the UK for more than 15 years were able to vote in the referendum on the UK's membership of the EU in 2016.

Crown servants are entitled to be registered for all UK elections and have to submit a Crown Servant declaration with their application. They are not subject to the current fifteen year rule provision for overseas electors. Crown servants could vote in the EU Referendum.
