National Voter Registration Drive

Chloe Smith has seconded EDM1002. Motion reads: "That this House notes that the National Voter Registration Drive (NVRD) is taking place over 1 to 7 February 2016; further notes that Mr Speaker, with the agreement of the House, allowed a projection of a ballot box onto Elizabeth Tower with the aim of encouraging citizens to register as part of NVRD 2015; notes that 441,696 electors registered to vote as a result of that campaign; further commends the activity of Bite The Ballot (BTB); and calls on all hon. Members to promote and participate in NVRD 2016 by joining events run by local community changemakers and BTB partners to encourage voter registration and democratic engagement."
