The Cabinet Office does not hold data on the number of citizens on the register, as local authorities manage their registers.<\/p>

Whilst we cannot provide data for individual constituencies, we are able to provide the number of applications that were submitted through the Individual Electoral Registration Digital Service (IER DS) for North Lanarkshire and Scotland, each day between 27 August
2019 to 4 September 2019, as shown below.<\/p>

These figures are for the total number of applications that have been made to the IER DS. Not all individuals who submit an application to register to vote are necessarily added to the electoral register. Eligibility to be added to a register is determined by Electoral Registration Officers for their local areas.<\/p>

I have had no reports on the removal of people from the electoral register in Scotland on the grounds that they were additionally registered elsewhere.<\/p>

<\/p>

People are free to register in more than one place if it appears to the relevant Registration Officers that they are resident in that area.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Electoral Commission has produced guidance on this issue to assist Registration Officers in effectively carrying out their duties.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, it is ultimately a matter for the local Registration Officer to determine whether an individual is resident at a particular address, taking into account relevant circumstances of the particular case.<\/p>
