<p>It remains the Government’s intention to leave the EU with a deal before the 23
May, so we do not need to participate in European Parliamentary elections.</p><p>Electoral
Registration Officers (EROs) maintain their own register for the area for which they
are responsible. EROs should write to EU citizens informing them of their right to
vote and request they confirm whether or not they wish to vote at a European parliamentary
election in the UK or in their home country.</p><p>Moreover, the Government has made
registering to vote easier for all citizens, including those from the EU, with an
online application taking as little as 5 minutes. The Individual Electoral Registration
digital service has been a huge success, facilitating over 38 million applications;
with over 75% of these being made online since its introduction in 2014.</p>
