I also presented the research findings to electoral administrators in Scotland on two occasions, updated some of the findings to produce a literature review for the Cabinet Office and took part in a British Academy Policy Centre debate with the Minister for Constitutional Reform, the Chair of the Electoral Commission and other senior figures involved in debates about reforms to electoral registration. |
