Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many people are registered to vote in more than one constituency because they are students.

Students have the right to register at either their home or term-time address and, it is possible that some do register themselves at both. Unfortunately the Government does not hold data on how many students choose to register at both their home and term addresses. The Government believes that democracy is about an individual’s right to make their own decisions, and being registered at both addresses allows students the freedom of choice championed by Individual Electoral Registration.
