answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The electoral register is already harmonised in terms of how it is compiled, who is eligible to be registered and the information which must be included. The Government has no plans to legislate to further harmonise the electoral register. For citizens, accessing the electoral register has been made considerably quicker and easier by online registration. For individuals and organisations with a legitimate interest in accessing the information included in the registers, a number of provisions already exist that allow them to do so.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 05/09/2017 13:18:43 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s view is that electoral fraud is unacceptable on any level. Sir Eric Pickles’ review made a number of recommendations for strengthening the integrity of the electoral process, including requiring voters to provide a form of identification at polling stations before voting. In line with the manifesto commitment, the Government plans to run pilot schemes in a number of local authority areas in 2018 that will test the requirement for voters to present ID before voting. Pilots will help to identify the best way of administering this new requirement.</p><p>The Government is considering the way forward on the other recommendations made by Sir Eric Pickles, and will continue to consider how to improve the integrity of electoral processes more generally.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 25/07/2017 15:39:24 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
