Question

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, if he will investigate whether EU citizens are being wrongly recorded on the electoral roll as being able to vote in all elections in (a) Wellingborough, (b) Kettering and (c) Corby.

We are not aware of any problem of EU nationals incorrectly being registered to vote in UK Parliamentary elections in Corby, Kettering or Wellingborough.

The published electoral register is available for inspection by any person who wishes to do so. Where someone believes that an entry on the register is incorrect or that the franchise for that entry has been determined incorrectly they may make an objection to that entry to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO).

If the ERO has any concerns about an entry on the register, they may undertake a review of the application under the rules of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and The Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001.
