answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The electoral register is already harmonised in terms of how it is compiled, who is eligible to be registered and the information which must be included. The Government has no plans to legislate to further harmonise the electoral register. For citizens, accessing the electoral register has been made considerably quicker and easier by online registration. For individuals and organisations with a legitimate interest in accessing the information included in the registers, a number of provisions already exist that allow them to do so.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 05/09/2017 13:18:43 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
