<p>On Friday 14 September, the Office for Students (OfS) published its guidance to
Higher Education providers on the student electoral registration condition.This guidance
is the final step in the implementation of the student electoral registration regulatory
condition provided for in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The
OfS guidance represents the first time that student electoral registration forms part
of the Higher Education framework in England. In fulfilling the condition, Higher
Education providers across England will be obliged to work with Electoral Registration
Officers (EROs) to facilitate electoral registration amongst their student populations.
The condition also reinforces an existing legal requirement for Higher Education providers
to comply with ERO requests for information, necessary for maintaining complete and
accurate electoral registers.</p>
