ELECTORAL COMMISSION AND VOTER ID

Motion Text

That this House notes the historic complacency of successive governments about electoral fraud other than in Northern Ireland; recognises that progress has been made to deal with postal vote fraud, but agrees with the Electoral Commission that personation remains a traceless crime outside Northern Ireland; welcomes the Electoral Commission's suggestion that a system of voter verification is needed; and calls for action to be taken to improve the integrity of the electoral system in England, Scotland and Wales.
