Ms Walley: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what plans he has to initiate research into
voter turnout at the 2001 general election; and if he will make a statement on the efforts to improve voter turnout in local,
general and European elections. [2801]
Dr. Whitehead: The Electoral Commission's report on the general election, to be published at the end of July, is expected to include
consideration of the reasons for reduced turnout. The Commission also has a duty to educate and inform the public about the
electoral process and the importance of participating in it. We will shortly be inviting local authorities to submit pilot schemes
to encourage turnout for next year's local elections.
