Electoral Register

The trouble is, though, that electoral registration officers in most areas will not know that someone is on the register who should not be unless someone tells them. There is a problem with that. For example, Members of Parliament are probably one of the groups of people who will be most likely to know, because of their dealings with those individuals and the UK Border Agency. However, given that people have to write to the registration officer to make the complaint, which Member of Parliament is going to do that, given that it might then get into the public domain that if someone goes to see an MP on an immigration case, the electoral registration officer might get in touch with them because they have wrongly put themselves on the register?
