[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would change how people register to vote in the UK. Instead of people having to sign up themselves on the electoral register, the government would automatically register eligible citizens using information it already holds. The aim is to make sure more people can vote without extra paperwork.

Presented by Baroness McDonagh.
