To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether there are any plans to introduce e-voting mechanisms before the local and European elections in 2009.
Michael Wills (Minister of State, Ministry of Justice; North Swindon, Labour)
No. The Government do not plan to introduce e-voting for the 2009 European or local elections.
The way forward more generally on e-voting will be informed by the valuable experience gained from earlier pilots, analysis of the responses to the election day consultation, and further development work including the possible further testing of e-voting solutions in non-statutory elections.
