answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>Following the 2014 European Parliamentary election, the Electoral Commission identified, in its statutory election report, that the system set out in law for citizens of other EU member states to register to vote in future European elections in the UK could be simplified. It specifically highlighted that legislation could be changed so that EU citizens would not need to complete more than one electoral registration form. Commission staff subsequently met Cabinet Office officials, together with representatives from EU citizens’ organisations, to consider the practical implications of this and other options for amending the law. Following the EU Referendum, the UK Government was clear that the European Parliamentary elections in 2019 would not take place. The Commission did not, therefore, continue to develop its recommendations.</p> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 02/05/2019 14:33:54 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson
