ERS Council Election 2023

Upgrade Holyrood is run by me, Richard Wood. Originally from Edinburgh, I currently work in the House of Commons, London, and have experience in analysis, communications, media and research.

I am also a Council member of the Electoral Reform Society, which seeks to bring UK politics into the 21st century, and an executive committee member of the Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform.

I am standing for re-election to the ERS Council (voting opens Wednesday 20 September 2023). The 2024 election is the best chance we’ve had in a long time to secure fair votes and I want to ensure that the Electoral Reform Society, while working with others in the wider politics and democracy sector, make the most of that opportunity. For that reason I am standing for re-election.
