answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) have a statutory duty to maintain the electoral registers and to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, that all those eligible (and no others) are registered. While the Electoral Commission sets standards for and monitors the performance of Electoral Registration Officers, these do not relate directly to this statutory duty. For this, EROs are independent statutory officers who are directly accountable to the courts.</p> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 09/09/2019 18:41:55 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to assess the compatibility of software used by local<br>authorities for electoral registration and that used by the Cabinet Office and Electoral<br>Commission.</p><p>When Individual Electoral Registration (IER) was introduced in 2014, the Cabinet Office<br>worked with the Electoral Management Systems (EMS) providers to ensure they were<br>compatible with the Government’s IER Digital Service. Compatibility with the IER Digital<br>Service means that Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) can manage registration data<br>through their EMS by downloading applications submitted through the Register to Vote<br>website, uploading applications to be verified with the Department of Work and Pensions,<br>and notifying other EROs about electors who have moved from their area.</p><p>We continue to work with the suppliers to ensure any changes to the IER Digital Service<br>retain compatibility with the EMSs. In addition, the Cabinet Office is also working closely<br>with EMS providers to ensure that all systems used by EROs are fully prepared to manage<br>the changes required as part of the reforms to the annual canvass.</p><p>The Government does not hold any information on the compatibility of software used by<br>the Electoral Commission with that used by local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 09/09/2019 10:21:52 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
