You asked
The latest numbers on the website for the Parliamentary electoral register refers to December 2011. Please could I have a more up to date number for those eligible to vote in the UK for the vote on the EU Referendum?
We said
ONS does not hold the number of those eligible to vote in the UK but does collate and publish data on the number of people registered to vote in local and European government, and parliamentary elections. The latest available UK electoral statistics, for 2014, are published on the ONS website at: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/pop-estimate/electoral-statistics-for-uk/2014/index.html. This shows that the number of people in the UK registered to vote in Parliamentary elections is 45,325,100.
