Election report: action needed

We have published our statutory report on the UK Parliamentary general election on 6 May. The report follows our review into polling station queues and outlines our recommendations for immediate action to ensure future voter confidence.

Future changes in voter registration

In July 2009, the Political Parties and Elections Act became law. The Act introduces a move from a system of household registration to a system of individual electoral registration in Great Britain.

In response, we developed a set of key principles which we consider to be vital in underpinning the implementation of this policy.
