<p>Since June 2014, over 11 million people have applied to register to vote, three
quarters using the new, ultra-convenient online system which takes less time than
boiling an egg. At the General Election there were 400,000 more entries on the register
than before, and thanks to Individual Electoral Registration (IER), 96 out of every
100 entries have been confirmed as genuine.</p><p>We’re now focusing on the remaining
4 out of 100. By December, Electoral Registration Officers will have attempted to
contact each of them nine times over 18 months. Any genuine voters will be confirmed
on the register, and the remaining inaccurate entries, of people who have moved away,
dies or were registered fraudulently, will be removed.</p>
