Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 December 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Representation of the People (Combination of Polls) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2006.
Representation of the People (Combination of Polls) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2006
The Minister has been good enough to answer about folding the ballot paper. I understand the reason for that—which I assume is to make it easier for it to be counted electronically. The point I made is that, as I understand it, they will not be voting electronically, they will be voting in the normal way on a piece of paper, and those pieces of paper will then be counted electronically. If you do not fold your ballot paper, someone on one side or other of the person putting it in the ballot box will be able to see how you have voted. How will that be prevented?
