HC Deb 29 June 1982 vol 26 c268W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intends to take any steps to encourage younger voters to exercise their rights to vote.

Mr. Mayhew

As part of an advertising campaign later this year, timed to coincide with the canvass for the next electoral register, the young voter will be asked to ensure that his or her name is included in the electoral registration return, as a prerequisite to voting.
