Reference Number : 46/09

Status: Open

Open date: 24 November 2009

Close date: 23 February 2010

This consultation aims to build a firmer evidence base about the advantages and disadvantages of the edited version of the electoral register and the impact of any changes made to it.

Views and evidence are invited from the public and other stakeholders about how they could be affected by its abolition.

On the basis of the evidence gathered, the government will consider a range of options for the future of the Edited Register including abolition, changing the process by which individuals are included on it, or improving public awareness of it.
