VOTING RIGHTS OF EU CITIZENS IN EUROPEAN ELECTIONS

Early day motion 2357, tabled 1 May 2019 by Mike Gapes (Independent). Signed by 44 members.

That this House calls on the Government to take immediate steps to ensure that all EU citizens in the UK who wish to vote in the EU elections are able to do so by making the additional form that EU citizens need to complete in order to declare they are not voting in another EU member state - the UC1 form - available at all polling stations on 23 May 2019, by instructing all local authorities to write by first-class mail to EU citizens who miss the 7 May deadline to inform them they will still be able to vote by filling in a UC1 form which will be available at polling stations and by directing local authorities to send polling cards to all EU citizens and not just those who have completed and returned the UC1 form.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Scottish National Party 15, Independent 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 3, Labour/Co-operative 2, Conservative 1.
