answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission has a statutory responsibility to promote awareness of elections, including public awareness campaigns on voter registration. Electoral Registration Officers have a statutory duty to ensure that people who are eligible to vote in relevant elections have the opportunity to do so. For both this includes the European Parliamentary elections.</p><p><br>The Cabinet Office report, Respecting, Protecting and Promoting our Democracy, sets out the recent steps that Government has taken to modernise voter registration. For example, the introduction of online applications; changes to the anonymous registration process; and co- production of Mencap Easy-Read guides have made the system more accessible and built on record levels of voter registration. On voter turnout, this remains a matter for political parties.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 02/05/2019 14:57:52 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
