People With A Learning Disability And Voting (EDM383)

People With A Learning Disability And Voting

EDM number 383 in 2009-10, proposed by Tom Clarke on 07/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Elections and Mental health.

That this House is concerned that less than 20 per cent. of those eligible to vote with a learning disability voted in the last General Election; believes that in order to encourage more effective engagement of people with a learning disability in the democratic process, local authorities, political parties and central government should produce accessible material in relation to electoral matters; notes the work of Mencap's Get My Vote campaign to encourage political parties to produce easy to read manifestos and United Response's Every Vote Counts campaign to ensure that people with a learning disability are engaged in the democratic process; and calls on all prospective parliamentary candidates to make their election material easily accessible for people with a learning disability.

This motion has been signed by a total of 145 MPs.
