註釋The Committee is happy with the effectiveness of the Electoral Fraud (Northern Ireland) Act 2002 but there are still flaws in the current arrangements. Less than 84 percent of these eligible to vote in Northern Ireland, are currently registered; young people and socially economically depressed groups are especially under-represented. Less than 25 percent of 17 and 18 years olds are registered. Voter's names are no longer placed automatically on next year's register, which is an effective anti-fraud measure, but on the other hand this has highlighted the low level of registration. Fewer of the new Electoral Identity Cards (EIDs) were issued than expected, and, while other forms of photographic ID are acceptable at polling stations,over 3,500 voters were turned away from polling stations at recent elections, because of ID problems. An example of the lack of joined-up thinking was the poor performance of two competing Government telephone help lines during the 2003 canvass period.
