<p>The Cabinet Office does not hold information on the numbers of European Union nationals<br>resident
in the UK who do or do not register to vote in local elections</p><p>Estimates of
the number of eligible people on the registers for electoral events are<br>published
by the Electoral Commission following each poll, but have not previously<br>included
a breakdown of the numbers of EU citizens eligible to vote. These reports are<br>available
online at: www.electoralcommission.org.uk</p><p>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 total number of UK local government electors – which includes EU citizens
– in the year to December 2018 was 47.8 million.</p><p>The latest bulletin is available
