Working with the Electoral Registration Officer(s) (EROs)
You will need to liaise closely with the ERO and staff for each of the local authorities to obtain the relevant registration and absent voting data. You should ensure that data protection is considered and that any transfer of data is secure.
If there is a need for exchanging data electronically, you should agree the timings for the exchange of data and ensure that a test of the process is carried out ahead of the first scheduled transfer.
There will be updates to the data at a number of points within the election timetable, as the ERO must publish two interim election notices of alteration as well as the final election notice of alteration.1
The Commission will publish a timetable containing the dates relating to these notices at scheduled polls.
