Absent Voting (Elections in Scotland and Wales) Act 2025

This bill reforms absent voting procedures for elections held in Scotland and Wales, making it easier for eligible voters to cast ballots when they cannot attend polling stations in person. The legislation likely expands access to postal votes, proxy votes, or early inperson voting options, and may streamline the application process or extend eligibility criteria. These changes aim to increase voter participation and accommodate people with work commitments, disabilities, caring responsibilities, or those living away from their registered address during election periods.
