Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their latest estimate of the number of individuals in England on the parliamentary electoral register, and what percentage this represents of the number of those eligible to vote.
The Office for National Statistics publishes annual electoral statistics. Its most recent report, published in April 2024, shows that the numbers of parliamentary electors registered to vote in England stood at 38,969,669.
There are no official statistics on, or Government estimates of, the numbers eligible to vote in parliamentary elections in England but not registered. The best available estimate, produced by the Electoral Commission in 2023, is that the parliamentary register in England is 86% complete.
