Proceeding contribution from Andrew Love (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.
Electoral Administration Bill
It is already a requirement that people should return an electoral registration form. Interestingly, the law does not state that they are required to fill it in, or to provide accurate information, although the registration form asks for accurate information. If we were to move towards compulsion in this country in relation to elections, it should involve registration in the first instance, and if that were to work, we could perhaps consider compulsory voting.
