Draft Electoral Representation Act

Public support for meaningful electoral reform has reached its highest level seen in years. Across the UK, more people are questioning whether our voting system gives everyone equal power in our democracy — a principle at the heart of LDER’s mission.

The 2024 General Election sharpened that debate, with many noting how the distribution of seats once again diverged sharply from the way the country actually voted. That gap has fuelled a renewed sense of urgency about fairness, accountability, and the need for a system that truly reflects voters’ choices.

We have prepared a Draft Electoral Representation Act to help meet that moment. It offers a clear, workable framework for achieving fair, equal votes at Westminster — an essential step toward rebuilding trust, empowering communities, and ensuring that every vote counts.
