Question
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what the decision-making process was for the distribution of his Department's £4.2 million Innovation Fund to improve voter registration.
The £4.2 million fund was aimed at maximising electoral registration throughout the transition to Individual Electoral Registration – the Innovation Fund was part of this.
Five national organisations received funding through the Innovation fund, to test ways of improving democratic engagement among under registered groups were selected on merit for their innovative ideas, insight, networks and knowledge of specific groups.
