Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Robathan (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Wills (Labour) on Tuesday, 9 February 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Re-registration (Service Personnel)
- Question
- What assessment he has made of the merits of ending the re-registration requirement for service voters.
- Answer
-
Ending re-registration altogether would create inaccuracies in the register. However, the Government recognise the need to respond to the special circumstances of service voters. That is why we have laid before Parliament an order that extends the declaration period for service voters from three to five years, and why we are taking forward further measures to help service voters to register to vote and, indeed, to vote.
