In March 2014 we reported that no EROs failed to meet the first of these standards.</p><p>Pursuant to the answer given to the Hon. Member on 9 December 2014, UIN 216888. The total given for the number of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) who did not meet one or more of the Commission’s performance standards was mistakenly given as 299. This figure incorrectly included two local authorities who, due to local government re-structuring, did not exist in their current form in 2008 so should not have been included in the figures. The table above provides the correct figures for this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Devon answering member printed Mr Gary Streeter question first answered 18/12/2014 13:38:09 answering member 234 label Biography information for Sir Gary Streeter
