Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Under section 10 of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (as substituted by Schedule 1 to the Representation of the People Act 2000) the electoral registration officer is required to conduct an annual canvass (by reference to residence on 15th October in that year) to ascertain the persons who are entitled to be or remain registered as parliamentary or local government electors. These Regulations prescribe a form for the purposes of that canvass.
In addition, regulation 3 and Part 2 of the Schedule to the Regulations specify a new form of words to be included in notes to the registration form (or to be sent to an applicant for registration who applies otherwise than on the prescribed form), relating to the two forms of register (the full register and the edited register) and the possibility of applying to be excluded from the edited register.
