<p>Following the 2014 European Parliamentary election, the Electoral Commission identified,
in its statutory election report, that the system for citizens of other EU member
states to register to vote in future European elections in the UK could be simplified.
It specifically highlighted that legislation could be changed so that EU citizens
would not need to complete more than one electoral registration form. Commission staff
subsequently met Cabinet Office officials, together with representatives from EU citizens’
organisations, to consider the practical implications of this and other options for
amending the law.</p>
