Part of the debate – in Westminster Hall at 4:30 pm on 16 June 2010.
When I was a councillor in Swindon, I was elected in all-postal elections and in elections involving internet and telephone voting-a form of advanced voting. Those very successful pilots took place over two years, and I would like to see that system introduced, as it would reduce the numbers coming through on the day.

The pilots were not successful, and overall turnout continued to decrease in pilot areas. Also in Swindon the Open Rights Group observed numerous problems with the systems on election day.
