	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>Funding for the annual household canvass and year round electoral registration (in addition to funding for polls at a local level) is paid for by the local authority using monies from the Revenue Support Grant (RSG) provided through MHCLG and the revenue raised by the authority through council tax, business rates and any reserves. This provides the majority of the funding for electoral registration.</p><p>Since the transition to Individual Electoral Registration (IER) in 2014, central Government has provided annual direct funding to local authorities to cover the additional costs of IER compared to the previous household system.</p><p>Since 2015/16, five years of annual funding has been provided by Cabinet Office to cover these additional costs, totalling £96M to date. It is expected that planned reform of the annual canvass of electors will significantly reduce the overall cost of registration. The Government is not therefore minded to make an assessment of the potential merits of ring-fencing IER grant funding.</p><p>Electoral Registration Officers are responsible for delivering electoral registration services and securing funding from the local authorities that appoint them. It is for local authorities to decide how they allocate their budgets.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 25/07/2019 15:25:14 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>Prior to the introduction of Individual Electoral Registration (IER) in 2014, the potential benefits of using Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data as part of implementing IER were assessed. This investigation demonstrated that DVLA data could not readily be used to verify individuals’ identity, nor ascertain the names and addresses of people who are not registered but are entitled to be registered to vote.</p><p>The Government decided upon using National Insurance Numbers for verifying applicant’s identities during the registration process.</p><p>The Government is committed to increasing the levels of voter registration and voter registration processes are subject to ongoing review.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 25/07/2019 15:24:49 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
