Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Electoral System.


Electoral System

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that electoral registration officers are a law unto themselves? Their interpretation of the law and the Electoral Commission rules cannot be challenged by the police, the courts or anyone else. Is it not time that we had consistency in the way in which EROs accept the expert advice of the Electoral Commission and apply election law, so that they can be held to account?
