Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 January 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Northern Ireland Assembly (Elections) (Amendment) Order 2007.
Northern Ireland Assembly (Elections) (Amendment) Order 2007
I do not have the figures in front of me. I think it is 1.15 million. I am informed that 1,115,965 people have registered. We are very pleased with that figure. It represents the highest ever return of registration forms. I realise that there were some doubts about this and I saw for myself the posters in Belfast in early January encouraging people to register. Some 40,849 voters will be added to the register in time to allow them to vote in the Assembly elections as a result of the rolling register. It is excellent news for democracy that so many people have registered. On Question, Motion agreed to.
