The Electoral Commission is an independent public policy body in the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing elections and regulating political finance. It works to maintain public confidence in the democratic process and safeguard the integrity of elections and referendums, while focusing on voters’ needs and ensuring voting remains secure, accessible, and fair in a changing environment. With responsibilities spanning all four parts of the UK, the commission is accountable to the UK Parliament, the Scottish Parliament, and the Senedd. Based in London, England, it draws on its expertise to advocate for changes that increase fairness, transparency, and efficiency in democracy. In 2026, the organization partnered with the Football Association of Wales to raise awareness of a voter registration campaign.
