Electoral Register: Databases

Question
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs what assessment she has made of the potential effect of individual electoral registration on the ability of the CORE keeper to detect potential fraud.
Answer

Under current policy proposals the CORE information system will be able to assist in the detection of potential instances of absent voter fraud which will be the responsibility of the respective ERO to investigate. It is not expected that a system of individual registration would strongly impact on the ability of the CORE keeper to detect potential fraud.
