Voters remain uninformed, survey suggests

A survey conducted by the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) has revealed that only 24 per cent of voters feel ‘well’ or ‘very well’ informed about the upcoming EU referendum.

The survey also discovered that 22 per cent of people still haven’t had any contact about the vote, with only two per cent of those polled having had a campaign visit to their home, and just six per cent having been approached in the street.

Darren Hughes, deputy chief executive of the ERS, said: “The fact that under a quarter of the public feel well informed about this referendum – despite months of campaigning - is deeply worrying news. Over one in five people still haven’t had any contact at all about the referendum: the real debate just isn’t getting through.

“Voters have been completely left in the dark on what the real issues at stake are in this referendum – instead they’ve had a debate dominated by personality politics, party spats, and name-calling. The tone of the debate has been overwhelmingly negative, turning voters off from the conversation. The public want to hear about the issues and policies that affect them, but instead have been subjected to a Westminster parlour game.”
