answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2016 answer text <p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has now published the statistics for the December 2015 electoral registers. The full report can be found here: <br>http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/elections/electoralregistration/bulletins/electoralstatisticsforuk/2015<br>The number of entries on a register is not a measure of success - entries need to be up-to-date and accurate. That is why completing the transition to Individual Electoral Registration was so important; it meant we could remove out of date or inaccurate entries from the register and retain those that had already been confirmed as genuine. Any eligible elector missing from the register can apply to register to vote at any time and with online registration it is now easier and more convenient than ever before.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 08/03/2016 16:59:35 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley attachment 1 file name HL6300 Attachment - Electoral Statistics for UK.pdf title Attachment
