  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Electoral Registration (Disclosure of Electoral Registers) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/760). The 2013 Regulations require registration officers in Great Britain to disclose the electoral registers maintained by them, and any related information, to the Lord President of the Council and authorise the comparison of that information with data held by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in order to assist registration officers to carry out the purposes set out in paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the Representation of the People Act 1983. Those purposes are—\nto verify information relating to a person who is registered in a register maintained by the officer,\nto ascertain the names and addresses of people who are not registered but who are entitled to be registered, or\nto identify those people who are registered but who are not entitled to be registered.\nUnder the 2013 Regulations disclosures must take place by 17th February 2014 in England and by 10th March 2014 in Scotland and Wales. They are now to be made by 9th June 2014 in England and Wales and 18th September 2014 in Scotland.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
