If it wasn’t bad enough having 8 million people missing from the electoral register, they will soon be joined by as many as 1.85 million more individuals who look set to drop off from 1 December, as a result of the Government's decision to bring forward changes to how we register to vote. 

That near-10 million people equates to 19% of all eligible adults not being on the electoral register.
