Cabinet Office written question – answered on 3rd November 2015.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the breakdown by (1) nation, (2) region, and (3) nationality, of the number and proportion of 16 to 24 year-olds applying to register to vote online since the launch of Individual Electoral Registration in summer 2014.
Since the introduction of IER in Great Britain in June 2014 there have been over 2.8 million applications to vote from 16 - 24 year olds including over 2.2 million online applications. It is not possible to provide a breakdown by nationality. Although electors are required to state their nationality when submitting an application to register, this information is not recorded as part of the published register.
