The general election web initiative DEMREF 2010, set up to allow constituents to compare the views of their prospective parliamentary candidates on reforming politics following the expenses scandal, is calling on all voters to get involved.

In every part of England there are candidates who have not used DEMREF 2010 to tell voters where they stand on the big reform issues, such as changing the electoral system, electing the House of Lords and lowering the voting age to 16.

DEMREF 2010 is asking concerned constituents to simply email or text the name of their parliamentary constituency only (no other details are required) and DEMREF 2010 will send a reminder to the relevant candidates urging them to openly state the view.

DEMREF 2010 organiser Tony Samphier said:

"Candidates need to prove to the voting public that they are serious about reform. This is not a traditional campaign that aspiring elected representatives can ignore – it is an exercise in openness, accountability and respect for voters."
