Electoral Register

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, on what dates the online register to vote service has been offline as a result of scheduled maintenance; and for how many hours it was offline on each of those days in October 2019.

Answer

The Register to Vote website has undertaken two essential maintenance windows so far in October 2019. The service was offline from 8:30am to 10:30am on Friday 4th October and Friday 25th October. This maintenance is essential to ensure the service remains secure and fit for purpose.

We are always looking for improvements to the service including reducing the downtime required for maintenance work.
