answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <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> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 08/05/2019 16:52:05 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson
