The Cabinet Office does not hold information on the numbers of eligible electors nor
information on the number of European nationals resident in the UK who do or do not
register to vote in European Parliamentary elections

Estimates of the number of eligible people on the registers for electoral events are
published by the Electoral Commission following each poll, but do not include a breakdown
of the numbers of EU citizens eligible to vote. These reports are available online at:
www.electoralcommission.org.uk.

Each Electoral Registration Officer maintains a register for their own local area. Some
headline registration statistics by area are collated and published annually by the Office for
National Statistics, however, this does not include a breakdown of the numbers of EU
citizens registered to vote

The latest bulletin is available at:
