Written Question
Electoral Register
Monday 12th October 2015

Asked by: Gloria De Piero (Labour - Ashfield)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate the Government has made of the number of carry-forward electors in each (a) region and (b) local authority who have not yet registered under individual electoral registration.

Answered by John Penrose

Individual electoral registration is essential to tackle electoral fraud and ensure a clean democratic process. 96% of electors in Great Britain have already transferred to the new IER registers. As the Electoral Commission has said, many of these retained entries are likely to be redundant, for example because of electors moving home. The latest figures on electors yet to be registered, broken down to local authority and regional level, are available here:

http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/excel_doc/0007/190465/IER-May-2015-electoral-registers-data.xlsx

These figures do not take into account the annual canvass, which is currently underway, with extra Government funding available to help Local Authorities contact carry forwards specifically by the end of the year. We expect the number of carry forward entries remaining on the register to be reduced substantially as a result of this work.
