Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to explore the possibility of electronic voting in elections for members of the armed forces posted overseas.

The Government has no plans to explore the possibility of electronic voting in elections for members of the armed forces posted overseas.

The Government has extended the electoral timetable for UK Parliamentary elections from 17 to 25 working days which will allow postal votes to be issued sooner and facilitate postal voting being viable for electors who are living overseas, including members of the armed forces.
