Division 108 · 23 January 2018
Electoral Commission
What this vote was about
The Electoral Commission is the independent body that oversees elections and referendums in the UK and regulates political party spending and donations. Its commissioners are appointed through a process run by the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, which then puts the recommended name to the House of Commons for approval. On 23 January 2018 the Leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom, moved a formal motion (a Humble Address to the Queen) asking MPs to approve the appointment of Professor Sir Ian Kennedy, who had previously chaired the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, as an Electoral Commissioner for a four-year term. During the debate some MPs raised objections, including about his age and his record at IPSA. The House rejected the motion by 77 votes to 46, so the recommended appointment was not approved.

"Party position" is how the majority of each party's voting members voted in this division. Parliament does not publish official whipping instructions, so this is derived from the recorded votes. "Rebels" are members who voted against their party's majority; Independent and Speaker roles have no party whip.
