star this property answer text <p>Funding for the annual household canvass and year round electoral registration (in addition to funding for polls at a local level) is paid for by the local authority using monies from the Revenue Support Grant (RSG) provided through MHCLG and the revenue raised by the authority through council tax, business rates and any reserves. This provides the majority of the funding for electoral registration.</p><p>Since the transition to Individual Electoral Registration (IER) in 2014, central Government has provided annual direct funding to local authorities to cover the additional costs of IER compared to the previous household system.</p><p>Since 2015/16, five years of annual funding has been provided by Cabinet Office to cover these additional costs, totalling £96M to date. It is expected that planned reform of the annual canvass of electors will significantly reduce the overall cost of registration. The Government is not therefore minded to make an assessment of the potential merits of ring-fencing IER grant funding.</p><p>Electoral Registration Officers are responsible for delivering electoral registration services and securing funding from the local authorities that appoint them. It is for local authorities to decide how they allocate their budgets.</p>

This is supported by cost data from Electoral Registration Officers and volume data provided by electoral management systems and other sources of information.</p><p>The Government recognises that Electoral Registration Officers within local authorities are best placed to make decisions on how best to target their work to ensure their electoral registers are complete and accurate. We welcome the sharing of best practice between local authorities on increasing levels of registration.

star this property answer text <p>Prior to the introduction of Individual Electoral Registration (IER) in 2014, the potential benefits of using Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data as part of implementing IER were assessed. This investigation demonstrated that DVLA data could not readily be used to verify individuals’ identity, nor ascertain the names and addresses of people who are not registered but are entitled to be registered to vote.</p><p>The Government decided upon using National Insurance Numbers for verifying applicant’s identities during the registration process.</p><p>The Government is committed to increasing the levels of voter registration and voter registration processes are subject to ongoing review.</p> more like this
