	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, with reference to the Answer from the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Constitutional and Political Reform of 11 October 2011, Official Report, column 344W, on electoral register: standards, what assessment she has made of the effects of the visits of electoral registration officers in Northern Ireland to schools with 10 or more pupils between the ages of 16 and 17 on electoral registration for that age group in Northern Ireland.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Concerns about under-representation of attainers were raised following the introduction of individual registration in Northern Ireland in 2002. The registration of attainers improved significantly with the introduction of the Chief Electoral Officer's Schools Initiative. The Electoral Commission's 2012 report on continuous electoral registration in Northern Ireland estimated that 66% of attainers were registered.</p><p>Although the number of attainers registered in December 2013 fell to 9,945 from 11,477 in December 2012, the Electoral Commission's recent report on the electoral registration canvass suggests that this can be partially explained by the fact that the Electoral Office did not conduct any activity with schools to register attainers in autumn 2013 due to canvass activity. The Electoral Office will commence school visits in September 2014 for the academic year 2014-15 and will also take applications from those pupils not visited last year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Leicestershire answering member printed Mr Andrew Robathan question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 334 label Biography information for Lord Robathan
