Introduce 'automatic registration' - so everyone can have their say in elections

Electoral Reform Society
Take steps to introduce ‘automatic registration’ linking registering to vote with other government services (e.g. applying for a driver's licence or receiving benefits or a national insurance number).

Why is this important?

Around nine million people are unable to have their say on who represents them - because they’re not registered to vote.

That means millions of people – from young people to BME groups and those on low-incomes - won’t get a say in the future of their country, making our democracy more unequal and unfair.

Let’s make sure this never happens again by moving towards a system that works for all of us. After this election, we call on all parties to commit to ‘automatic registration’ for all future elections in the UK. It's time to bring in the missing millions at last.
