Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen on 4 June (HL Deb, cols 916–18), how many complaints were made by registered electors overseas who failed to receive the postal votes for which they had applied because of maladministration by electoral offices in the United Kingdom.
The information requested is not held centrally. The Electoral Commission will produce a report on the General Election in the coming months and this will cover any concerns that arise around the use of postal votes by overseas electors.
