<p>In 2011 and 2012, the Electoral Commission carried out an evaluation of the Government’s
pilots to test the extent to which data held on national public databases could assist
Electoral Registration Officers in maintaining their electoral registers. Its evaluations
found that the principle of sharing data had potential but that the approach, as piloted,
was not effective.</p><p>The Commission has recently undertaken feasibility studies
examining how publicly-held data could be used to improve registration. The findings
will be published in the summer.</p>
