§ Mr. RobathanTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what mechanisms exist to identify in which elections an individual has participated when multiple elections are held. [179044]
§ Mr. LeslieUnder current electoral law, the electoral register is marked to indicate that a ballot paper has been issued to an elector. Where elections are combined, a different mark is made to indicate for which election a ballot paper has been issued. The marked copies of the register are available for public inspection after the election.
