Recommendation
The proposals in the Bill on voting and candidacy rights of EU citizens would create a complex system that is likely to lead to confusion and difficulties for electoral administrators, electoral campaigners and voters in determining who is eligible to vote and stand for elections at local government elections in England and Police and Crime Commissioner elections in England and Wales. People from the same country will have different rights depending when they arrived in the UK. The Committee recommends that the Government considers further the option of a residency-based approach in future reforms. (Paragraph 130) The Electoral Commission
