Mr Dave Watts – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Speaker’s Committee on the Electorial Commission
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mr Dave Watts on 2014-03-10.
To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker’s Committee on the Electoral Commission, what the electoral registration figures were in each ward in the recent confirmation dry run conducted in (a) St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council area and (b) St Helens North constituency.
Gary Streeter
The Electoral Commission informs me that the confirmation dry run involved matching all entries on the electoral registers against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Customer Information System database. Entries would be marked as green if they matched with DWP, amber if they were a partial match or red if there was no match.
