answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2016 answer text <p>The last study of the completeness and accuracy of the electoral register was published by the Electoral Commission in July 2014, and found that Parliamentary registers were 85.9% complete and 86.4% accurate. This was based on the last registers published under the old household system of registration in February/March 2014. The next study of this kind will be published by the Commission this summer and will be based on the registers published in December 2015. The completeness and accuracy studies provide a nationally representative picture, and do not allow for analysis at a local authority level, such as the London Borough of Redbridge.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 06/06/2016 15:36:30 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose

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
