Overseas Voters Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would change the rules to allow more British people living overseas to vote in UK parliamentary elections. Currently, there are limits on how long you can live abroad and still vote; this bill aims to make it easier for expats to take part in elections and have their say on who runs the country.

Presented by Mr Christopher Chope.
