<p>We are only mid-way through the transition to Individual Electoral Registration
(IER) and so the current electoral registers offer only an initial and partial snapshot
of the registration landscape. Electoral statistics based on the last electoral registers
published under the previous household system are available on the Office for National
Statistics website:</p><p><a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/pop-estimate/electoral-statistics-for-uk/2013/stb---2013-electoral-statistics.html"

</p><p>ONS plans to publish statistics for England and Wales on 26 February based
on the registers as at 1 December 2014 and on 16 April for the Scottish registers
as at 2 March 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government has provided funding of over
£14 million between financial years 2013/14 and 2014/15 to support the costs of activities
aimed at increasing the completeness and accuracy of the electoral register. We have
also provided all Local Authorities and Valuation Joint Boards in Great Britain with
a share of £30m resource funding, across this financial year and the previous financial
year, to support them in making the transition to IER.</p>
