- Electoral statistics refer to the number of people who were registered to vote if an election had been held on 1 December of the reference year. There are two main classifications of voters; the Parliamentary Electorate' and 'European and Local Government Electorate'.
Commonwealth citizens, British citizens and citizens of the Republic of Ireland who are normally resident in the area on the qualifying date and who will be aged 18 or over during the electoral register's currency are eligible to vote in any election. However, further eligibility criteria for the two classifications are different.
The Parliamentary Electorate includes overseas electors but excludes Peers and EU citizens. The European and Local Government Electorate include Peers and EU citizens but exclude overseas electors. Overseas electors are not resident in the UK but can vote in a Parliamentary Election if they have previously been resident in the UK and included in the electoral register (unless they were too young to register). They are registered to vote in the same parliamentary constituency as before they went abroad.
People who attain the age of 18 during the currency of the register, who are entitled to vote at an election on or after their birthday are included in both the Parliamentary and European/Local Government Elections.
