UK Evoting: Legislation and Organisations
These pages form an archive of material related to evoting, and have not been updated in some time. I may return to them one day, if and when the British government decides to pursue evoting again.
Legislation
Stationery Office website – provides online legislation, including Acts of Parliament and Statutory Instruments.
Department for Constitutional Affairs website

To discover the progress of proposed legislation in Parliament, see the They Work for You version of Hansard, which is far more usable than Hansard itself.
Government, public bodies and related organisations
