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>

The Charity Commission is a regulator of the charitable sector. The Commission\u2019s annual budget has been reduced over the last five years, as it has increasingly focused on its core regulatory functions. Its annual budget was £21.4m in 2014/15.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 22 October the Prime Minister announced additional funding of £8m over three years to boost its ability to tackle abuse.<\/p>

The Electoral Commission has a statutory role in registering party descriptions, and already has the power to not register certain types of descriptions, including those which are either offensive or misleading to the voter. These duties are set out in legislation and it is important that the Electoral Commission fulfils these efficiently and effectively. Following an incident earlier in the year when the Electoral Commission mistakenly registered an extremely offensive party description, an independent review made some recommendations about future practice which the Electoral Commission accepted.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has no plans to review the powers and governance of the Electoral Commission. The 11th report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, Review of the Electoral Commission, recommended that the role of the Electoral Commission should be streamlined and re-focused into two core roles as a regulator of (a) political party funding and (b) of electoral administration. This recommendation was accepted by Government and the Electoral Commission.<\/p>
