Changes to the way people register to vote is causing the biggest drop off from the electoral register in our history and is likely to have a major impact on the outcome of the next General Election.

There are almost one million fewer people on the electoral register now than in 2014, most of them students. Other groups affected by the changes include 17-18-year olds, those living in private rented accommodation and those from newer immigrant communities.

If this was not bad enough, our research shows that the drop off is concentrated in many of the key seats that will determine the outcome of the election.
