| Guardian | 5 August 2005 | Patrick Wintour | Automatic voter listing 'could plug gaps in register' | Ministers are considering introducing automatic voter registration for all council tax payers as they review the reasons why so many people in Britain do not vote.
The number of people not registering to vote is believed to have risen substantially in the past 10 years. Estimates suggest that as many as four million entitled to vote are not on the electoral register - meaning that voter turnout has fallen by more than is currently recognised. |
