The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions her Department has had with the Welsh Government on automatic electoral registration in Wales.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

UK Government and Welsh Government officials are in regular contact on a range of electoral conduct and registration topics, including the Welsh Government’s pilots on automatic electoral registration.

We are exploring a wide range of options to deliver on the manifesto commitment to improve electoral registration including making greater use of public data and digital services. We are following the Welsh pilots with interest.
