Subject: National Commission on Electoral Reform (Case Ref: CH20298)
Dear Roger Cracknell,
Thank you for contacting me about the Representation of the People Bill and Alex Sobel MP's amendment to establish a National Commission on Electoral Reform.
I was pleased to support this amendment and add my name as a signatory. You can view the amendment and see my name listed among its sponsors here:
https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4080/stages/20676/amendments/10035247
While the amendment was not selected for debate and therefore was not voted on in the House of Commons, I support the principle behind it and was happy to back the proposal. The amendment sought to require the Government to report on the feasibility of establishing a National Commission on Electoral Reform to review the operation of the voting system for elections to the House of Commons.
I believe it is important that we continue to consider how our democratic institutions can best reflect the wishes of voters. I will continue to support measures brought before Parliament that advocate for reform of our voting system and strengthen public confidence in our democracy.
Thank you again for taking the time to get in touch and share your views on this issue.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Hinchliff MP
Member of Parliament for North East Hertfordshire
