Any idea where I might get a definitive answer on this? I'm afraid
electoral registration is not my forte! Is there a central electoral
person for England or should I contact my local officer?

Just a few more thoughts!
Is it definately a requirement to provide names or just 'custom &
practice'? Isn't that treating students like children, not adults? Plus
not
all resident students will be eligible to vote in the UK anyway - do you
have to differentiate by nationality?
Has the Robinson case and restricted access version of the ER changed
the
position at all?
Even if there is some requirement to provide names / details of resident
students for ERO to follow up - surely not the same as actually
registering
them on the ER?
Regards, Kirsty.
