The Law Commission's consultation paper on electoral reform, published in June, seeks views on electoral law and the democratic process. The consultation will close in September and the Electoral Commission will be responding. Bob Posner, outlines the case for reform.

This would benefit all those involved in administering elections, those standing for election and, most importantly, those wishing to cast their vote.
