<p>The Government is committed to ensuring that everyone who is eligible to vote is
able to do so.</p><p> </p><p>Online registration, introduced in 2014, has already
transformed the way many people register to vote by making it easier, simpler and
faster. This can be done online at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/register-to-vote</a>
in as little as 5 minutes. Three quarters (75.2%) of the over 36 million applications
to register to vote since June 2014 were made online and the user satisfaction rate
with the website is consistently more than 90%</p><p><br> We keep the registration
system under review at all times, especially with a view to its modernising. In doing
so, we work closely with a wide range of partners such as the Electoral Commission,
the Association of Electoral Administrators, the Scottish Assessors Association and
SOLACE (Society of Local Authority Chief Executives).</p>
