Electoral Register
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her timetable is for implementation of automatic voter registration.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
As set out in the July 17 policy paper ‘Restoring trust in our democracy: Our strategy for modern and secure elections’, the Government is committed to creating a more automated approach to electoral registration over the coming years. Before implementing any changes, we will test a range of automated approaches including more effective use of data and better join-up across public services. This will ensure that any interventions or changes to the registration process are effective at improving the accuracy and completeness of the register and offer value for money.
