The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of fraudulent electoral registration.

Answered by Samantha Dixon

Data on allegations and outcomes of electoral fraud is recorded by police forces across the UK and provided to the Electoral Commission. The Electoral Commission publishes this information annually on its website in the section titled ‘research, reports and data’.

The Government continues to work closely with the Electoral Commission, the police and other partners to safeguard the integrity of elections and maintain public confidence in the democratic process.
