PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Electoral Register: Greater London (12 March 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent estimate the Government has made of the number of eligible people who are not on the electoral register in (a) the London Borough of Redbridge and (b) each local authority area in London.

Asked by:
Wes Streeting (Labour)

Answer

The Cabinet Office does not hold information on the number of eligible electors in local authorities. Registration statistics are accessible from the Office for National Statistics’ (ONS) website (www.ons.gov.uk).

Estimates of the number of eligible people not included on electoral registers are published occasionally by the Electoral Commission, but not at sub-regional level. The latest report on register completeness and accuracy was produced by the Electoral Commission in 2016 and is available online (www.electoralcommission.org.uk ).
