Postal Votes For Pensioners

EDM number 58 in 1999-00, proposed by David Crausby on 18/11/1999.

That this House welcomes the modernising agenda put forward by the Government regarding local government and improving local democracy; recognises the need to make it easier for people to vote through new ideas; urges the Government to introduce the right to a postal vote for every pensioner who requests one on reaching retirement age; and suggests that this could be achieved more effectively with an application form attached to every pension allowance book.

This motion has been signed by a total of 71 MPs.
