Individual Voter Registration

EDM number 754 in 2007-08, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 22/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Elections and Electoral systems.

That this House notes the concerns of the Monitoring Committee on the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that serious shortcomings remain in the system of postal voting used in the United Kingdom and that it is `childishly simple' to register bogus voters; and believes the Government should heed the earlier warnings of the Electoral Commission on the scope for abuses of household registration and bring in individual voter registration as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
