	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice holds data on the number of people prosecuted and fined for failing to provide required information to an electoral registration officer, which can be seen in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>2013</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>Prosecuted</td><td>111</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>Received a fine</td><td>45</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>Average fine</td><td>£242</td><td>£600</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>Figures on criminal prosecutions are not available beyond 2014 because a change in legislation saw failing to register on the electoral register become a civil (rather than criminal) matter.</p><p> </p><p>For years following 2013, failing to register on the electoral register was dealt with as a standard fine, where local councils can send letters requesting the fine rather than beginning a civil case. Only if the offender refuses to pay, and the council believes it is worth pursuing, would the case be sent to county court and recorded as a ‘specified money claim’. However, centrally held information does not separately identify ‘failing to register on the electoral register’.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/04/2019 13:49:23 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
