Running electoral registration - England

Where you have made a positive determination under the new registration criteria that an elector is eligible to remain registered, you must update the marker to the letter B against the person’s name in your register and send a confirmation of maintained registration to the elector.1

This requirement applies for electors where their eligibility has been reviewed using either the data-based review process or the correspondence review process.

Sending confirmation of maintained registration

You must use the confirmation of maintained registration letter approved by the Minister for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and made available by the Commission.2

When the template ECR letters are available, you can find them here.

The content of the letter must include:

• A statement that the criteria under which a citizen of the EU is eligible to be registered in the register of local government electors has changed
• Confirmation that the ERO has determined that the elector continues to meet those criteria

You can deliver the confirmation letter to the applicant by:

• hand
• post
• e-mail
