Request

I would like to request some information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Under the terms of the Elections Act 2022 and the Amendments of RPA 1983, voters in your local authority were entitled to apply for a Voter Registration Certificate either online, by post or in person, in advance of the local elections held on May 4th, 2023.

My request is for the number of people in your local authority who applied for a Voter Registration Certificate before the election on May 4th 2023, and/or the number of Voter Registration Certificates which were issued ahead of May 4th 2023.
