answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2020 answer text <p>Electoral Registration Officers have statutory responsibility for maintaining complete and accurate electoral registers for their areas. The Government seeks to make registration as easy as possible and to work with many others to reduce any barriers to registration. We encourage everyone who is eligible to register to vote, and registering to vote has never been easier or more convenient.</p><p>The Government opposes automatic registration as it contradicts the principle that individuals are responsible for registering and that this should be done at a time and place of their choosing. Automatic registration would raise privacy and security concerns. It would also risk introducing errors and inaccuracies to the registers, creating unwarranted opportunities for fraud.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith grouped question UIN 114938 question first answered 17/11/2020 17:08:32 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
