[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill aims to change the rules around voting for British citizens who live overseas. Currently, British expats can only vote for 15 years after leaving the UK, this bill would likely remove or extend that time limit, allowing more people living abroad to have a say in UK elections.
Presented by Mr Christopher Chope.
