Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Bishop of Chester (Bishops (affiliation)). It was answered on Wednesday, 9 December 2009.
Voting: Service Personnel
- Question
- My Lords, can the Minister confirm that all serving personnel are old enough to vote?
- Answer
-
I cannot confirm that they are, which is one of the difficulties about automatic registration. The idea is excellent, at least in theory, for service personnel of whatever age either to be told about registration or to be registered when they join the Armed Forces. The Elections Minister has asked officials to explore the idea that has been mentioned here today, along with a range of other suggestions which may improve registration.
