Student Voting

EDM number 1197 in 2010-12, proposed by David Morris on 14/12/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Electoral franchise and Students.

That this House notes that a number of constituencies and council wards have large but transient student populations; further notes that these students are entitled to register to vote at either their term-time address or their permanent address; believes that this short-term population can often outvote the permanently settled communities; further believes that it is unfair for a community to be outvoted in this way and resolves that students with both permanent and term-time addresses should be required to vote at their permanent address.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
