<p>The Commission carries out regular research studies assessing the accuracy and
completeness of the registers. The most recent study, based on the December 2018 registers,
will be published in the coming months. These important studies are resource intensive,
and it would not be good value for money to do them annually.</p><p>The Commission,
does, however, gather data from Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) on the size
of the electoral registers, as well as on other aspects of their activities to register
electors, on an annual basis. This data is used as part of our ERO performance standards
assessments and also supports the Commission’s ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness
of the electoral registration system.</p>
