Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill (Money) (No. 3)

Proceeding contribution from Roger Godsiff (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

The hon. Gentleman said that the AV system forced people to cast their votes in order of preference. With great respect, that is not true. Under AV, a voter may cast a single vote for one candidate. Their vote would not be invalid if they did not mark the rest of their ballot paper with second, third, fourth or fifth preferences.
