Closed consultation
Enabling remote attendance and proxy voting at local authority meetings
Applies to England
Consultation description
This consultation seeks views on the detail and practical implications of allowing remote and hybrid attendance at local authority meetings.
It also tests views on the possible introduction of proxy voting for those occasions when an elected member, due to personal circumstances, may be unable to attend even remotely. For example, during maternity, paternity or adoption leave.
