We've launched the new online system to make voter registration as accessible and accurate as possible.

The service has been extensively tested with a wide range of users to ensure the data the service collects allows the verification of an individual's identity. The website consistently achieves a very high satisfaction score.

We will continue to improve the service based on user feedback.
