<p>Online registration has made registering to vote quicker and more convenient for
the majority of electors, including young people. Ahead of the elections on 7 May,
£530,000 was allocated to organisations that work to encourage student electoral registration,
including £380,000 to the National Union of Students. Universities and local authorities
continue to work closely together through the Student Forum, established by the Cabinet
Office. A number of learning resources promoting electoral registration in schools
have also been developed in partnership with youth organisations. In addition, there
are interesting pilots of the new system to improve student voter registration at
Sheffield University and elsewhere, which we are studying carefully.</p><p><br></p>
