Proceeding contribution from David Marshall (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scottish Elections 2007.
Scottish Elections 2007
In the local government elections, most of the spoiled votes were due to people marking their ballot paper with crosses instead of 1, 2 and 3. Does my right hon. Friend agree that there was nowhere near enough advance publicity regarding this vital change to the electoral process? Will he ensure that that does not happen in the future? Will he also reconsider his position in relation to electronic counting machines, and ensure that they, and DRS, never again play any part in any election?
