Electoral registration is the responsibility of local Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), supported by the Electoral Commission.<\/p>
<\/p>
To support the transition to Individual Electoral Registration, the Government has invested £4.2 million in 2013/14 shared across every ERO in Great Britain and 5 national organisations to support the costs of activities aimed at increasing the rate of voter registration.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also introduced online registration in Great Britain. As of midnight 28 October, 478,177 16-24 year olds had registered online.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has made freely available the Rock Enrol! resource aimed at engaging young people in democracy. This is free to download on GOV.UK, Guardian Teach and on the Times Educational Supplement website.<\/p>

The Electoral Commission (EC) will assess progress in the transition to Individual Electoral Registration in England and Wales based on the Electoral Register as of 1 December 2014 and plans to publish their evaluation in February 2015. The Office for National Statistics will also publish statistics on the December register.<\/p>
<\/p>
Scotland will publish their registers in March and the EC plans to publish a separate assessment of these in April 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government intends to make their own assessment of the transition. An assessment of the confirmation live run in England and Wales was published in October 2014 and can be found here:<\/p>
