Chris Skidmore, Minister for the Constitution, hosted the inaugural Electoral Summit yesterday, 11 December 2017.

The Summit brought together expert members from around the United Kingdom to provide additional impetus to the democratic engagement agenda. This forum discussed electoral matters and developed solutions through joined-up, collaborative policy-making.

Minister for the Constitution, Chris Skidmore said:

Our partners in the electoral community play a vital role in identifying opportunities for engaging under-registered and vulnerable groups.

I am delighted to launch the first Electoral Summit as part of our commitment to engaging with these key organisations.

This work is guided by Sir Eric Pickles’ comprehensive review, which made a number of recommendations for strengthening the integrity of the electoral process.
