Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of British citizens who are resident overseas and who can no longer vote in general elections due to the 15 year rule, since 2010.

British citizens resident overseas who are registered to vote in UK Parliamentary elections as overseas electors are listed under ‘other electors’ at the end of the electoral register for each area/constituency.

The Government does not hold statistics on the number of British citizens living abroad who have been previously registered to vote in the UK.
