VOTER REGISTRATION

Early day motion 764, tabled 13 October 2005 by Brian Iddon (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House notes that many of those eligible to vote are not registered; urges the Government to press local authorities, especially where voter registration is low, to review their procedures and do everything within their powers to encourage people to register to vote; calls on the Government to consider automatic registration for those residents on other registers, such as the council tax register; and rejects the Electoral Commission's proposal for individual registration.

Signatures by party: Labour 30, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 1.
