An overwhelming majority of 892 (76%) voted in favour of changing the law, while just 289 voted against.
Announcing his decision, Mr Lowe wrote on X: “I have my own views of course, but on such an emotive issue I thought it was right to consult my constituents. My constituents have spoken, and that is how I will vote tomorrow.”
Other undecided MPs were continuing to hold events and invite constituents to write in sharing their views.

The Reform party’s deputy leader Richard Tice has also announced his intention to vote in favour of the Bill at Friday’s second reading.
Writing for Express.co.uk this week, he said the tragic personal experience of those who see “a loved one die in excruciating agony, at the end of a debilitating illness” can stay with them for the rest of their lives.
He added: “When you have seen someone suffer in this way, then I believe it changes ones view on this debate.
“Particularly when there is a kinder more compassionate option. I have seen this — it still affects me over a decade later.”

Mr Tice described Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill as having “provably the toughest safeguards in the world’.
He added: “This week’s vote is the first step in months more debate, committee analysis, review of amendments and discussion in the House of Lords.
“It is about saying yes, let’s have a proper go over the next few months at designing such a system fit for purpose.”
