The Government has set out its current objectives for changes to electoral law and political finance law in the Representation of the People Bill and in response to the Rycroft Review.

The Government has been clear that neither the current Bill, nor the response to the Rycroft Review, represent the totality of our ambition for electoral reform and work will continue.
