The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 provides for those who have not registered under (Individual Electoral Registration) to be ‘carried forward’ until December 2016, at which point they will be removed from the register if they have not made a successful application to register. The Act contains a provision that allows an Order to be made in Parliament in the summer of 2015 that will conclude ‘carry forward’ in December 2015.
