FOI request (FOIR-712756936)

Overseas Electors on Electoral Roll

Requested Thu 08 May 2025
Responded Fri 16 May 2025

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information relating to overseas electors registered in the Hastings local authority:

1. The number of registered voters on your current electoral roll who are known to be residing overseas. If an exact number is not available, please provide an estimate or approximate percentage based on the information available to you.

2. If possible within the time and cost limits of the Act, please provide a breakdown of the overseas electors by country of residence.

I understand that this information may be drawn from the full electoral register and is subject to data protection constraints. I am not seeking any personally identifiable information, only aggregate figures.

If providing the country-level breakdown would exceed the cost/time threshold for FOI responses, I would be grateful if you could fulfil part (1) alone.
