Overview of the Structure Part 2: Registration of Electors
16.Part 2 makes a number of provisions to improve the electoral registration process, including by:
	establishing a new duty on EROs to take steps to register eligible electors. This sets out the steps that should be taken to ensure registers are as complete and accurate as possible;improving registration for service personnel by providing for the extension of service voter declarations by up to 5 years and requiring the Ministry of Defence to maintain a record of registration options of service personnel;
	establishing a scheme of anonymous registration for people for whom the publication of their name and address on the electoral register would pose a threat to safety;
	moving the closing date for registration closer to the date of the poll;
	allowing for the correction of clerical errors and changes following court decisions to be made up to, and including, polling day; and
	extending the provision for public objections to registration, so that such objections may be made after a person has been registered as an elector, not just before registration. It also empowers a registration officer to remove ineligible entries from the register at any time.
