asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether a citizen who is registered to vote in two local authorities may vote in elections held in each local authority on the same day. [HL6268]

Lord Rooker:

Under Section 2(2)(b) of the Representation of the People Act 1983, a citizen who is registered to vote in two local authorities may not vote in elections held in more than one local authority on the same day (i.e. at an ordinary election), unless one or both are by-elections held to fill casual vacancies.
