Capita Conferences announce details of their 1st Preparing for the 2015 Elections Conference

Oct. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- The May 2015 UK General Election and local elections also taking place in some parts of England, will present great challenges for all those involved in administering both the elections and the electoral registration system. Our Preparing for 2015 Elections conference is timed to enable you to meet the major changes ahead.

Attend to ensure that you are ready to deal with increasing voter turnout, the new registration system and the higher degree of scrutiny due to the number of very closely fought contests in your constituency.

This timely event draws together key organisations and experts to provide in-depth insight into overcoming these challenges, as well as implementing the practical lessons learnt from the 2014 local and European Parliament Elections.

Expert speakers:

Keynote: Gary Streeter MP, Speaker’s Committee on the Electoral Commission

Chair: Rt Hon lord Tyler, House of Lords and Member, Electoral Commission's Parliamentary Advisory Group

Nicholas Paines QC, Law Commissioner with Responsibility for Public Law, Law Commission
