Debate
Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
On the question from the noble Lord, Lord Caine, about why so many people are falling off, 6% of people would be expected to fall off the register if we did not adopt this statutory instrument. We can all appreciate that it is a challenge to get people to fill in physical papers when they believe they are already eligible to vote. We have to look at how we can communicate with people in a way that works and suits them, and I am convinced that that is what the CEO is seeking to do.
