  1. ‘Left without a voice’: October #GeneralElection could leave #students in #UK unable to #vote -

    Universities and student unions were already nervous about the idea of an autumn election, when students are settling into new halls or houses and less likely to be focused on applying to joining the #ElectoralRegister or acquiring #PhotoID that will be compatible with the government’s new voter rules

  3. Got an email from elecreg.co.uk re confirming electoral details. A quick check confirms it is legit but many will assume it's phishing #UK #ElectoralRegister

  4. On the UK #electoralRegister #dataBreach, under the Representation of the People (E&W) (Amendment) Regulations 2002, reg 106, full (relevant subsets) of the electoral registers are provided to parties, campaigns, candidates, incl independents lacking IT infrastructure and #security capacity.

    Even if the #ElectoralCommission had safeguards, our system is leaky by design. #Elections #cybersecurity

  6. CW: Irish Data Protection and Election Register

    Hmm. It seems the process and data capture for the electoral register is changing kildarestreet.com/wrans/?id=20

    But it also seems the State continues to act in ignorance of the Bara decision of the CJEU and the transparency principle under #GDPR. A change like this needs LOTS of comms and informing of people or it will disenfranchise people, potentially impacting on Article 39 / Article 40 rights under Charter. #DataProtection #ElectoralRegister #GDPR
