question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that women in safe houses and refuges who need to keep their address anonymous are not prevented from voting.
tabling member printed	Lord Chadlington
uin	HL11
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/05/2016 answer text <p>Electors who need to keep their name and address anonymous are able to submit an application for anonymous registration. As part of their application, electors must satisfy the Electoral Registration Officer that their safety, or that of people they live with, would be at risk if the register contained their name and address. For this purpose electors must provide either a court order or an attestation by a “qualifying officer”, which includes senior police officers and chief social workers. The evidential threshold for applications for anonymous electoral registration is to ensure that it is available only to those whose personal safety would genuinely be at risk if their details appeared on the electoral register, rather than for the purpose of gaining additional privacy.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 31/05/2016 13:37:54 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with ministers in the devolved administrations about improving the levels of voter registration.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL25
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2016 answer text <p>Following the May elections we look forward to working with the new Governments in Scotland and Wales on modernising and improving electoral registration. Electoral policy is not devolved in Northern Ireland but we are working with the Chief Electoral Officer to introduce digital registration. The Government is committed to helping ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote in polls is able to do so. Online registration makes it easier, simpler and faster for people to register to vote. Since the introduction of IER in Great Britain in 2014 there have been over 17 million applications to register to vote, with a majority of these applications online.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 02/06/2016 14:25:58 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley

tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL26
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2016 answer text <p>Ensuring the accuracy of electoral registers and taking steps to reduce fraud is critical to building confidence in the systems underpinning our democracy. In the majority of cases, applicants registering to vote will have their identity matched against government records or local data sources successfully. Where this is not possible, most applicants can be asked to provide supporting documentary evidence, which can be drawn from a wide range of sources and there are no plans to change this.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 02/06/2016 14:28:25 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley
