The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will undertake a public consultation on proposed changes to election law.

Answered by Alex Norris

The government has worked closely with its partners in local and devolved government, with the electoral sector, with education providers and civil society, and with citizens themselves in the development of the strategy for modern and secure elections. We will continue to engage with a range of stakeholders, including with political parties and sector representative organisations such as the Association of Electoral Administrators, to ensure these changes are delivered successfully.
