Status of the proposals to modernise the electoral registration process

QUESTION

To ask the Minister for Housing; Planning and Local Government the status of the proposals to modernise the electoral registration process following public consultation in early 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
REPLY
 
Following an initial consultation with local authorities on a set of policy proposals, I launched a public consultation on the electoral register modernisation project in December 2018.  187 submissions were received from a broad range of stakeholders and I intend to publish a report on the consultation very shortly.
