Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013
Summary
This Act changed how people register to vote in the UK. It moved away from a household-based system to individual voter registration, meaning each person must now register themselves rather than one person registering everyone at an address. It also updated various rules about elections and how they are run.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means believing that updating how people register to vote is important. It aims to make the voter registration system more modern, accurate and efficient, helping to reduce fraud and ensure that only eligible people can vote.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry that the changes made registration harder for some people, particularly young people and those who move house frequently. Some were concerned that removing automatic registration from the electoral roll could prevent eligible voters from casting their vote.
