The Voter Registration Bill [HL] would set out how voters are registered by registration officers and create related rules. It aims to clarify who can register, how information is collected and updated, and how the electoral register is kept secure and accurate. The specific provisions would be laid out in the bill’s clauses as it progresses through Parliament.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Lords. If it progresses, it would move to the committee stage for detailed examination, followed by report and third readings in both Houses before becoming law.
