Deadline Extension for EU Referendum Voter Registration: Announcement

The Minister for Cabinet Office, Matt Hancock, has announced an extension to the voter registration deadline, giving people more time to register to vote. The new deadline is now 23:59 on Thursday, June 9.

The decision to extend the deadline follows discussions with the Electoral Commission and has received strong cross-party support in the House of Commons. The extension was confirmed today, aiming to allow those who have not yet registered to do so.

Secondary legislation was passed on June 9, but the search results do not explicitly provide the name of the person who submitted the template for this legislation.

The link to register to vote is readily available for those who wish to take advantage of the extended deadline. The message being sent is clear: registration is still open for voters.

This extension comes as a relief for those who may have missed the initial deadline due to unforeseen circumstances. It ensures that everyone who wishes to vote has the opportunity to do so.

The extension of the voter registration deadline was made with the intention of giving people more time to register, and it is hoped that this will result in a higher voter turnout. The deadline for voter registration is now midnight tomorrow, so if you haven't registered yet, make sure to do so before then.
