Prime Minister announces National Commission on Electoral Reform

Today Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

We welcome the decision and want the commission to get started as soon as possible, with voters at its heart.

What would a commission actually do? How could the public take part? Our National Commission In a Nutshell guide explains the proposal in plain English, from the questions it would examine to what happens after it reports.

The Government has yet to publish the details of its commission. The guide gives you a clear way to understand the plan we campaigned for and judge what comes next.
