Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps the Government is taking to increase voter registration within Commonwealth communities for the forthcoming EU referendum.

The Government is committed to ensuring as many eligible people as possible are registered to vote. The introduction of online voter registration has made it easier and quicker to register to vote than ever before. It can take less than three minutes and you can register throughout the year from wherever you are in the world, within the commonwealth and beyond.
