Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Wright (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill 2005-06.


Electoral Administration Bill

Is there not a third dimension? I am thinking of the effect of a proper registration system that would command respect among the population generally, and particularly among those who vote by post or feel inclined to do so. It would help if we had a system of registration for postal voting that made those who might vote by post feel more confident that their votes would be counted properly. That would increase turnout and deal with registration.
