Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the case for modernising legislation concerning elections and referendums.
The Government keeps electoral processes, and whether improvements may be made, under review. We are working with the Law Commission on how best to implement the recommendations of their review of electoral law.
We have identified with the Law Commission and key electoral stakeholders possible means of effecting reform through the drafting of secondary legislation. Work is underway on this by the Law Commission, which is supported by Cabinet Office and the Electoral Commission.
