Make Work Pay: draft code of practice on electronic and workplace balloting for statutory union ballots

The government will introduce a new statutory code of practice on electronic and workplace balloting to accompany the introduction of these methods for statutory union ballots. This new code will provide practical information on the conduct of these ballots.

It will include:

• requirements on each party involved in a statutory union ballot to ensure a ballot meets the required standards
• factors to be considered when choosing a voting method
• good practice in the conduct of statutory union ballots using these new voting methods  

This consultation invites views from all interested parties to ensure this new code of practice is clear and balanced.
