HL Deb 07 November 1996 vol 575 c67WA
Baroness Gould of Potternewton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there are to be any changes in the forms to be used for absent votes, or in the attestation required.

Baroness Blatch

The Government are looking to see whether the deadline for the receipt of absent voting application forms can be relaxed in time to be effective at the next general election, and whether some other more minor changes in procedures relating to attestation can be introduced at the same time. If so, the forms will be amended accordingly.
