Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.
Electoral Administration Bill
We have to think laterally. Why can we not positively reward people for going on the electoral register? We could adjust the tax code of people in work, adjust the state pension of retired people, or tweak the benefits of people who receive them. We could give people a lottery ticket for registering. Why can we not do that to encourage people to register?
