VOTING BY SECRET BALLOT

That this House believes that on-demand postal voting and the introduction of new ways of voting may fatally undermine public confidence in the integrity of the ballot; and urges the next Government to bring forward legislation with urgency to re-assert the primacy of the secret ballot, acknowledging that it is the cornerstone of the United Kingdom's democracy.
