On Tuesday, Political Scrapbook revealed the official Vote Leave campaign had abruptly deleted a highly misleading page claiming it would ‘register’ people to vote in the upcoming EU Referendum.

The page was linked to from a Google Ad which would come up if someone in the UK searched for “Register to vote”.

The Vote Leave campaign have some serious questions to answer, especially since an earlier screenshot (taken by LeftFootForward) shows, it gave the impression that signing up to the mailing list would help them register to vote.

One user who mistakenly signed up told Political Scrapbook:

[I] tried to register my girlfriend’s sister to register to vote, googled ‘register to vote’ clicked first link without looking.

[I] signed her up without realising it was a leave campaign landing page, now she is getting lots of leave email despite unsubscribing several times, this was [on] Tuesday 31st May mid afternoon.

Today, Chris Bryant MP is asking six questions of the Vote Leave campaign on their ‘register to vote’ page.

Here are those questions:

1) When did Vote Leave’s “Register To Vote” go up on the site?

One user who was fooled into signing up told it had been there for at least a week.

2) Why didn’t the page make it clear (not the ‘Privacy notice’ at the bottom), that signing up would not register someone to vote?

3) Who signed off on creating this page?

Did Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, IDS or others on the Vote Leave board know about it?

4) Did the misleading ‘Register to Vote’ page eventually redirect users to the real government page?

5) How many people signed up to your mailing list through that page?

6) Why did you stop your Google Ads and delete the page when it was found out?

We look forward to their response
