Paragraph 9
 
9.  The general requirements for voter registration according to the electoral law of the United Kingdom are settled in the Representation of the People Act of 1983, as amended, particularly in Sections 8-13D. The relevant features of the registration system are that it is a household system, that the electoral officers have specific duties in order to prepare, maintain and update the registers, and the lack of personal identifiers.
