§ Mr. Peter LloydWe undertake an annual publicity campaign to promote electoral registration by all those eligible to vote, and in particular members of ethnic minorities. In addition, we have provided electoral registration officers (EROs) with model explanatory notes on the registration system in a number of ethnic minority languages for them to adapt according to local circumstances. The form and content of the 1993 campaign is being considered, but ethnic minorities will continue to be one of the key target audiences.
