answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2014 answer text <p>The Government funded the Electoral Commission's 2011 research into the completeness and accuracy of the electoral register. This informed the approach to the transition to Individual Electoral Registration, including the use of data matching to confirm the majority of current electors on the existing register without their having to make a new application, and the phasing of the transition over two years, which means no one who registered to vote at the last canvass will lose their right to vote at the General Election. Alongside this the Government is funding all local authorities in Great Britain and five national organisations to take steps to boost the completeness and accuracy of the register.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tunbridge Wells answering member printed Greg Clark question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1578 label Biography information for Greg Clark
