Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Service Voters’ Registration Period Order 2010.


Service Voters’ Registration Period Order 2010

For nominations, it is particularly important that at the time of a national general election, people should be allowed to nominate as late as possible. That is true about registration as well. As I understand it, the registration date for elections is the same whatever type of election it is. It is 11 days in order that people can register as late as is practical, yet still get their postal vote and be able to return it in good time.
