  New Clause 88— Referendum on voting systems
  '(1) A referendum is to be held, no later than 31 October 2011, on the voting system for parliamentary elections.
  (2) The Secretary of State must-
  (a) present to Parliament a Command Paper describing an alternative-vote system for consideration by voters in the referendum;
  (b) by order made by statutory instrument specify the question to be asked in the referendum (and any statement that is to precede the question) and fix the date of the poll.
  (3) The question specified under subsection (2)(b) must ask voters whether they would prefer the alternative-vote system described in the Command Paper to be used for parliamentary elections instead of the existing voting system (commonly referred to as "first past the post").
