Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will review the grounds for the requirement for council candidates to publish their home address on ballot papers.

The Government recognises that the existing requirements in relation to the publication or
otherwise of candidates’ home addresses vary across different polls

In their report just published on the General Election 2017, the AEA recommends that the
option for candidates to restrict publication of their home address be extended to all polls

We will respond to this report in due course

I also refer the member to my answer made in debate, on 14 September 2017, Volume
628, Column 1083.
