<p>We are working with Local Authorities, the Electoral Commission and Civil Society
groups to find better ways of reaching and encouraging under registered groups to
register, as the Minister for Constitutional Reform set out in his recent speech on
voter engagement. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/vision-for-electoral-registration-speech-by-john-penrose.</p><p>Online
registration is making the process notably quicker, easier and more convenient for
everybody, but particularly for under-registered groups like young people; 2.9 million
16-24 year olds have applied since June 2014. Completing the implementation of Individual
Electoral Registration will also help, by giving an accurate picture of registration
levels that isn’t artificially inflated or flattered by people who have either died
or moved away.</p>
