Overseas Electors Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill changes the rules for British people living outside the UK to vote in elections. Currently, British citizens abroad can only vote for 15 years after they leave. The bill would extend voting rights for overseas electors, making it easier for them to remain registered and take part in UK elections no matter how long they've been away.
Presented by Glyn Davies.
