Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to section 7 of his Department's policy statement, Proposals on reform of the annual canvass, whether the Government has assessed the potential merits of naming individuals such as landlords, concierge and management companies as responsible officers that are mandated to provide Electoral Registration Officers with details that are required in order to send through an Invitation to Register form to residents.

The Government is currently analysing the responses to our consultation, from Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and others. As part of this we are considering the range of responsible officers that could be required to provide EROs with information to facilitate registration.
