This week, Fair Vote brought together 18 expert civil society organisations to deliver a collective briefing booklet to hundreds of Peers during the Representation of the People Bill’s scrutiny in the House of Lords.

The booklet brings together specialist insight from across civil society, setting out the key provisions of the Bill, highlighting amendments that Peers should support, and providing contact details for organisations with expertise across its different areas. Our aim is to ensure Peers have access to the knowledge, evidence and practical expertise they need to scrutinise the legislation effectively.

As the Bill enters its next crucial stage, Peers have an important role to play in shaping its development, scrutinising its provisions and ensuring that legislation is both effective and inclusive. By bringing together the expertise of civil society, we hope to support Peers in making informed decisions and championing amendments that strengthen our democracy.

The Representation of the People Bill booklet for Peers is available here.
