Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much funding was allocated by the Government to support (a) the registration of UK electors overseas and (b) residents without a fixed address in advance of the (i) 2017 General Election, (ii) EU referendum and (iii) 2015 General Election.

Most funding for electoral registration is the responsibility of local authorities. However, in
recent years (including all the years in question) the Cabinet Office has made available
extra funding to cover the additional costs of Individual Electoral Registration. Such
funding will have assisted with the cost of any targeted canvassing of groups such as
those without a fixed address or overseas electors. However it is not possible to estimate
the specific costs of such activity.
