LEON conducted a nationwide survey of 8339 people between 17 and 26 August this year. The
survey was conducted with a random selection of locations and households across all counties
and electoral districts and give a solid representation of the population as a whole.
LEON found that 14% of the population are not registered, with the majority of these being
under the age of 25 with a slight upweight amongst women. However, there are around 6% of
people in other age groups who did not register during the 2019 and the main reason why they
didn’t register was due to lack of time. Apart from people not having registered, 21.5% said
they have moved to a different electoral district and 27% said that they have lost their voter
registration cards, both of which would need to come to the registration center to update their
details in order to be able to vote. In total, 74% of respondents said they would need to come
to the registration center to register, re-register or replace their voter card
