Electoral Register
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information his Department on the number of people who have attempted to vote but were prevented from doing so due to not being registered in each of the last ten years.
Answered by Samantha Dixon
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government does not collect or hold data on the number of individuals who attempt to vote but are unable to do so because they are not registered to vote.
Elections are administered locally by independent Returning Officers and their staff, who are statutorily responsible for the operation of polling stations during elections.
