On 17 January, Ian Murray MP wrote to the Assessor & Electoral Registration Officer concerning the moves to Individual Electoral Registration.

•

The move away from Household registration may mean that some people fall off of the register, and lose their chance to vote.

•

Ian said: “I am very pleased with this comprehensive reply from those in charge of the registration for Edinburgh. I still remain concerned that a number of people will still be vulnerable to fall off the register in time for the General Election.”

•

“In the next 14 months we have three important• choices ahead of us: the European elections, the referendum on separation, and the General Election in May 2015. Of course, I encourage every person who is eligible to make sure they register, then use their vote as we make important decisions about the future of our country.”
