Clause 43 - Marked postal voters list
Electoral Administration Bill
2:00 pm
David Cairns (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Scotland Office; Inverclyde, Labour)
—although, of course, in other legislation, we are going to move the deadline. However, there would normally be a good reason why an elector would wish to apply for a vote nearer to the deadline. We think that it is good that people have the option of applying for a postal vote, so avoiding being disenfranchised.
