Voter registration is now easier and more convenient than ever before with the launch of online registration. Applying to register to vote now takes as little as 3 minutes and has been a huge success so far – over 90% of users that have provided feedback on the Register to Vote website have said they were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with the service.

To date, over 2 million applications have been made under IER with the majority of these made online.
