Individual Electoral Registration : ウィキペディア英語版 | Individual Electoral Registration Individual Electoral Registration (IER) is the voter registration system which took effect from 10 June 2014 in England & Wales and from 19 September 2014 in Scotland.〔Gov.uk, 18 December 2013, ()〕 Under the previous system, the "head of the household" was required to register all residents of the household who are eligible. Under the new system individuals are required to register themselves, as well as provide their National Insurance number and date of birth on the application form so that their identity can be verified.〔BBC, 18 December 2013, ()〕 ==Background== The Westminster government had introduced IER to Northern Ireland in 2002 in the Electoral Fraud (Northern Ireland) Act 2002, but England, Wales and Scotland continued to use a system of householder registration.〔BBC News, September 15, 2010, (Individual voter ID plan brought forward to 2014 )〕 The UK's politically independent Electoral Commission had been pushing for such a reform for some time.〔Polly Curtiss, Whitehall Correspondent, The Guardian, 15 September 2010, (New voter registration rules to be introduced )〕 In September 2010, Mark Harper, the government's Minister for constitutional reform, announced the plan.〔 A spokesman for the Electoral Reform Society, an independent NGO, expressed some reservations: "You're potentially looking at registration rates in the 50% region. It will make some problems worse.".〔 (One recent study ) has also suggested that it will lead to a decline in electoral registration, unless other measures are put in place to offset these reductions.
