answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>The voter ID pilot schemes are part of a comprehensive programme of reform that will enhance public confidence in our elections, and strengthen electoral integrity.</p><p> </p><p>It has always been Cabinet Office’s view that voter ID pilots will not disenfranchise any legitimate voter and that piloting voter ID with local authorities is the best way to ensure successful implementation nationally. Local authorities best understand the needs of their electors and each pilot has reflected its preference for the form and combination of ID. No-one will need to purchase identification documents to be able to vote in the pilots scheduled for May 2018 and the valid identification will not be limited to a passport or driving licence. The pilot local authorities and the Electoral Commission continue to work closely with the Cabinet Office to ensure that this is possible and that every eligible voice can be heard.</p><p> </p><p>We want to ensure the system is safe and secure. It is not acceptable that anyone should be disenfranchised from the process.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 07/12/2017 10:32:30 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

uin	117064
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>Information regarding the total number of unregistered people of voting age is not held by the Government. Only totals for the number of registered electors are held, and these can be accessed through the Office For National Statistics website. It should be noted, however, that registration levels have increased at every General Election since 2005, and the register used for the 2017 General Election was the largest in our history, standing at 46.9 million entries. This is undoubtedly due, in large part, to the introduction of the Government’s Register to Vote website, which has delivered great benefits to electors, making registering to vote simpler and more accessible than ever before. It is the Government’s intention to build on this success by publishing a Democratic Engagement Plan in December, which will have the ambition of making the General Election in 2022 the most inclusive to date.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 06/12/2017 15:17:56 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
