Reform UK has proposed new laws making it harder for non-English speakers and Commonwealth citizens to vote in UK elections. The party's "Election Integrity Bill" proposes taking away Commonwealth citizens' voting rights and making election materials available solely in languages indigenous to the British Isles. Nigel Farage also wants to limit postal voting, which nearly 10 million people used in the 2024 general election.
