Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment, if any, they have made of the effectiveness of the Electoral Commission.
The Electoral Commission is independent of Government and accountable to Parliament via the Speaker’s Committee on the Electoral Commission.
The Government is committed to making sure that elections are secure and fit for the modern age. As part of this, we keep the Electoral Commission’s role and powers under review to ensure it is able to discharge its responsibilities effectively.
