Data on the number of registered attainers in December 2013 in the UK, by region and local authority area, is available from the Office for National Statistics’ website. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/pop-estimate/electoral-statistics-for-uk/2013/index.html

The Office for National Statistics will publish data on the number of attainers registered in December 2014 in February 2015.

Data is not held on the age of registered attainers and some may have been 16 years old at the point of registration.
