<p>The Commission believes that registering young people automatically when they are
allocated their National Insurance number would be an effective way of improving completeness
levels among attainers.</p><p>It recently published the findings of feasibility studies
examining the potential for data sharing between organisations holding reliable information
about citizens and Electoral Registration Officers. It found that data sharing could
be achieved by linking national data sources to the individual electoral registration
service, which is already connected to the systems used by Electoral Registration
Officers to manage their electoral registers.</p><p>In this way, it would be possible
for information about young people allocated National Insurance numbers to be shared
with Electoral Registration Officers, to support automatic or automated electoral
registration.</p>
