Electronic strike balloting 


A government-commissioned review into electronic strike balloting (the Knight review) was published in December 2017. The review has recommended a series of pilots before online strike balloting of union members is made legal. The TUC has accused the government of dragging its feet, commenting that: “If it’s safe and secure for political parties to elect candidates and leaders online, why can’t unions have electronic ballots?” Postal balloting is known to depress turnout.
