answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>As required by legislation, all applications to register to vote are assessed by Local Authority Electoral Registration Officers (EROs). There are around 360 EROs across the UK. EROs manage and maintain separate electoral registers for their areas on a variety of different software platforms. A national registration look-up tool would require access to all of these locally held and owned electoral registers, and, if it required the creation of a central national database, could require legislative changes and raise significant data protection concerns.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 12/05/2016 09:41:54 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
