  Electoral Registration and Administration Bill - Schedule 5 - Removal of Entries from the Register of Electors
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted no to remove people from the register of electors if they fail to successfully make an individual voter registration application in the first two, rather than three, canvasses under the new individual registration system. 
  
  @ MP voted aye to only remove people from the register of electors if they fail to successfully make an individual voter registration application in the first three, rather than just two, canvasses under the new individual registration system. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted to remove people from the register of electors if they fail to successfully make an individual voter registration application in the first two, rather than three, canvasses under the new individual registration system. 
  
  MPs were considering the Electoral Registration and Administration Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment 20,  page 27, line 44, leave out âsecondâ and insert âthirdâ.
  
  Had it not been rejected this would have affected Schedule 5 part 2 of the Bill[2], specifically paragraph 6 which stated:
  
  :A registration officer in Great Britain must, immediately before the
  publication of a register following the second new canvass, remove the entry of any person who has neitherâ
  : (a) had his or her entitlement to remain registered confirmed, nor
  : (b) made a successful new application for registration in the register. 
  
  
  The first canvass under the new system was likely to be in late 2014, the second in 2015, and the third in 2016.  The amendment sought not to remove people who had not confirmed their registration or made a new application for registration under the new system until the time of the third canvass, expected in 2016.
