answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2015 answer text <p>Individual electoral registration is essential to tackle electoral fraud and ensure a clean democratic process. 96% of electors in Great Britain have already transferred to the new IER registers. As the Electoral Commission has said, many of these retained entries are likely to be redundant, for example because of electors moving home. The latest figures on electors yet to be registered, broken down to local authority and regional level, are available here:</p><p><a href="http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/excel_doc/0007/190465/IER-May-2015-electoral-registers-data.xlsx" target="_blank">http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/excel_doc/0007/190465/IER-May-2015-electoral-registers-data.xlsx</a></p><p>These figures do not take into account the annual canvass, which is currently underway, with extra Government funding available to help Local Authorities contact carry forwards specifically by the end of the year.

Ahead of the elections on 7 May, £530,000 was allocated to organisations that work to encourage student electoral registration, including £380,000 to the National Union of Students. Universities and local authorities continue to work closely together through the Student Forum, established by the Cabinet Office. A number of learning resources promoting electoral registration in schools have also been developed in partnership with youth organisations. In addition, there are interesting pilots of the new system to improve student voter registration at Sheffield University and elsewhere, which we are studying carefully.</p><p><br></p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 10/09/2015 15:12:25 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

Online registration has proved popular: over three quarters of the 9.6 million applications to register to vote made since June 2014 have been submitted online. Since June 2014, over 2.2 million applications have been received from 16-24 year olds.</p><p><br> The Government strongly supports the principle underlying IER, that people must make an individual application to register to vote, and is currently examining the results of prompted enrolment schemes such as the one recently undertaken at Sheffield University, to see if they have wider application.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 09/07/2015 10:04:11 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
