In this capacity the EC leads public awareness campaigns on voter registration, notably ahead of elections.</p><p>Working in partnership with the EC, Cabinet Office has coordinated cross-Government support for these campaigns. This includes sharing campaign materials through government social media accounts, such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as wider networks. No central record is kept of the volumes of these activities.</p><p>In addition to cascading messages on social media, the Government has also funded local authorities and civil society organisations such as Mencap, Bite the Ballot and Operation Black Vote to promote voter registration ahead of polls. Register to vote reminder messages were also added to high traffic GOV.UK pages, such as DVLA and HMRC.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 02/07/2018 13:46:58 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
