Original call for evidence
Call for evidence description
This consultation sets out the background to Sir Ken Knight’s independent review of electronic balloting and calls for evidence in support of it.
In the weeks up to the general election we are unable to promote the call for evidence, in line with the guidance for civil servants. We are therefore extending the deadline for responses from 10 May to 14 July 2017.
