WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2016

Question

Has the Committee completed the pilot study in which the Register of Names and Addresses was to be compared with the electoral register to determine the feasibility of establishing a central electoral register, and, if so, when will the results of the pilot study be published?

Answer

The project to compare the accuracy of the electoral register against the records held within the Names and Address Register, initially authorised by the Assembly's adoption of paragraph (D)(a) of P.110/2013, was concluded in August with the submission of the final report on the matter by John Turner, Chief Executive of the Association of Election Administrators. PPC is evaluating the report with a view to publishing it shortly.
