An estimated 1.9million people could potentially drop off the electoral register after November 2015 because of the government’s introduction of 'individual electoral registration'.

In the past, one person could register on the whole household’s behalf; government changes mean that each individual now needs to register for themselves.

Another 8 million people are already missing from the register. That’s almost 1 in 5 adults without the vote.

Who is this most likely to affect?
