HC Deb 02 March 2004 vol 418 c869W
Mark Tami

To ask the Prime Minister what guidance he provides to local authorities on voter registration. [156550]

Mr. Leslie

I have been asked to reply.

My Department provides regular guidance and information to local electoral registration officers (EROs) on policy issues and legislative changes relating to voter registration arrangements. Separately, the independent Electoral Commission is responsible for offering advice and guidance to EROs on the detailed requirements of these and other voter registration matters.
