Question

To ask the Right hon. Member for Kenilworth and Southam, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, what representations has the Electoral Commission previously made to HM Government on the Government publicly consulting on the implementation of the measures in the Government’s 2025 Elections Strategy.

The Electoral Commission has said that any legislative change on elections should be informed by the experience and insight of the electoral community, including electoral administrators, political parties and the wider regulated community. This will help ensure the Bill’s measures are implemented in a workable manner. It has discussed how to do this with the Government.
