Postal Votes For Pensioners
EDM number 1649 in 1997-98, proposed by David Crausby on 02/09/1998.
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 109 MPs.
