In a sweeping package of changes, ministers will also extend voter ID to include bank and veterans’ cards to help more people exercise their democratic right.
As revealed by the Guardian, there will also be tougher new rules to guard against foreign political interference and abuse of candidates.
Political parties will be required to assess companies they are receiving donations from against a series of tests, proving their connection to the UK or Ireland. Companies used for political donations will have to prove they are generating income in these countries.
Currently, any UK company can make donations to a political party, regardless of when it was set up, where its money comes from and who its owners are.
Some campaigners had called for more sweeping reforms after the US billionaire Elon Musk floated the idea of giving $100m to Reform UK –
Another change is toughening the law to stop candidates, campaigners and electoral staff being intimidated, harassed or abused. Changes include no longer requiring candidates to publish their home addresses on election material, and changing legal guidance so that it will be considered an aggravating factor if someone is found guilty of harassing a candidate, campaigner or staff member.
Finally, the government is planning to change the law to ban those found guilty of intimidating or abusing a candidate from standing themselves as a candidate in future.

Need that young muzzie vote to defeat the white locals voting.
KISS THE UK GOODBYE
Fourteen or fight!
If in the military and one can die for their country they should be able to vote. Otherwise voting and adulthood should be declared at age 20. I’m sick of 18 year-old adults being referred to as ‘teenagers’ when they commit a violent crime.
Europe is lost, and the UK just keeps digging their hole deeper & deeper with each passing day.
Did the majority of current voters in the free and democratic society of England support this change through some sort of referendum or constitutional amendment? How can they just willy nilly change something of this magnitude without the approval of the majority of the free people of Britain?
They have "elections" in the UK just like in Russia.
Soon after they will allow only one bar in England; but, it will be 200 miles long.
Stupid move. But, hey, you get what you vote for. Crap in, crap out.
As usual, we're not far behind.
Because kids in UK named Mohammad are in their upper teens. So the United Kingdom is about to become the United Arab Emigrants
minimum voting age should be 25 ...

><
That’s right.
Cool, then at least the senior muzzie wives will be able to vote.
In NYC it should be 40.
This is a wholly leftist endeavor. 16-year-old cannot enter into contracts that I am aware of, unless they are designated as an emancipated 16-year-old.
I don’t believe 16 year-old’s should be given “emancipated” status for the same reasons that they aren’t allowed to enter into contracts or join the military.
They are still children. This is just an attempt by the left to solidify their base with people who are unable in general to make life decisions.
The left (both here and in the UK)wants it that way.
You should at least be the age of majority to be in the military or to vote In most states that’s 18. In a few it’s a little higher. I think Mississippi has it right at 21.
