I have been asked to reply.22 data matching pilot schemes are under way, two of which (Lothian Valuation Joint Board and Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board) include more than one local authority. These local authorities are testing the usefulness of matching their electoral registers against a selection of public databases to identify people missing from the register or entries on the register that may be inaccurate or fraudulent. The ability of a local authority to provide its data for the purposes of the data matching schemes ends on 30 November 2011. The Electoral Commission will evaluate each scheme by 1 March 2012.The participating local authorities are:"Borough of Blackpool""Borough of Colchester""Lothian Valuation Joint Board (City of Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian)""District of Forest of Dean""London Borough of Greenwich""London Borough of Newham""Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board (Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde)""Borough of Rushmoor""London Borough of Southwark""City of Sunderland""Borough of Wigan""County of Wiltshire""London Borough of Camden""District of Forest Heath""City of Glasgow""City of Manchester""City of Peterborough""County of Shropshire""District of Stratford-on-Avon""London Borough of Tower Hamlets""Teignbridge""City of Wolverhampton" |
