<p>The Commission supports electoral registration reforms that would make it easier
for people to register or to update their details throughout the year. This might
include adding people automatically from other datasets, or other automated solutions
which still require confirmatory action by the voter.</p><p>In 2019, the Commission
investigated the feasibilty of such reforms. It found these were possible from a technical
perspective and could be implemented without radically altering the structure of the
electoral registration system in the UK.</p><p>The Commission's view is that this
could help improve registration levels among some under-registered groups, including
the youngest part of the franchise. This would ensure that as many people as possible
are able to participate in our democracy.</p>
