A survey of voting in elderly psychiatric and medical in-patients
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The UK has recently held a general election in which the future of the National Health Service has been a major issue. The elderly constitute a growing proportion of the electorate and are frequent users of the Health Service, yet some may have been unable to vote because they are in-patients. Elderly in-patients can vote by post or proxy or by being taken to their polling station by relatives or party representatives, but for many these arrangements may be inadequate.
