Since 2010 the Government has provided two funds to increase voter registration.<\/p>
The participation fund ended in 2010-11 and in that year provided £54,708 to local authorities, including 3 in Wales, on promoting electoral registration, voting and awareness of election processes. The fund was abolished due to lack of demand from local authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2013-14 £189,410.27 was provided to local authorities in Wales with the direct intention of maximising voter registration. A summary table is provided below:<\/p>
