The Bill aims to ensure everyone entitled to vote in the UK can do so by moving from a complicated and incomplete current system to an automatic registration system using data the Government already holds. The right to vote is fundamental, yet more than 9.4 million eligible voters were either incorrectly registered or not registered at all in 2019. Groups like lower-income individuals, BME communities, young people, and renters are disproportionately affected. An incomplete electoral register risks cementing unfairness into the system for eight years during boundary reviews. The current pandemic crisis highlights the need for a robust registration system fit for the 21st century. The Bill would place a duty on the Secretary of State to ensure electoral registers in the UK are accurate and complete, requiring public bodies like HMRC, DVLA, NHS, Passport Office, and local authorities to work together and share information for voter registration purposes.
