Reform vows to stop voters who don’t speak English
- Reform UK has published an Election Integrity Bill proposing sweeping changes to UK voting laws.
- The proposals include removing the historic right to vote for Commonwealth citizens and introducing strict limits on postal voting.
- Under the plans, election literature would be restricted to native British languages and polling staff would police voters’ English proficiency.
- Danny Kruger of Reform UK argued the measures are required to protect British democracy from being eroded by uncontrolled immigration.
- Critics warn the draconian proposals could exclude millions from the democratic process, particularly non-English speakers and postal voters.
