answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to assess the compatibility of software used by local<br>authorities for electoral registration and that used by the Cabinet Office and Electoral<br>Commission.</p><p>When Individual Electoral Registration (IER) was introduced in 2014, the Cabinet Office<br>worked with the Electoral Management Systems (EMS) providers to ensure they were<br>compatible with the Government’s IER Digital Service. Compatibility with the IER Digital<br>Service means that Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) can manage registration data<br>through their EMS by downloading applications submitted through the Register to Vote<br>website, uploading applications to be verified with the Department of Work and Pensions,<br>and notifying other EROs about electors who have moved from their area.</p><p>We continue to work with the suppliers to ensure any changes to the IER Digital Service<br>retain compatibility with the EMSs. In addition, the Cabinet Office is also working closely<br>with EMS providers to ensure that all systems used by EROs are fully prepared to manage<br>the changes required as part of the reforms to the annual canvass.</p><p>The Government does not hold any information on the compatibility of software used by<br>the Electoral Commission with that used by local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 09/09/2019 10:21:52 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
