The following question has been received, on notice, from Councillor Richards to the Chairman of the Council;
"The government recently brought forward the date to December 2015 for transferring to the new system of 'Individual Electoral Registration" - one year earlier than previously planned, it is estimated that nearly two million people could drop off the register for no good reason.
I believe that's unnecessary, and wrong, what is this Council doing to persuade residents in South Derbyshire to register in order that they are not deprived of their democratic right to vote in future elections?"
