Constituencies of prisoners enrolled to vote while in prison

Ella made this Official Information request to Electoral Commission

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Ella to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Ella

Dear Electoral Commission,

I am interested in how the constituencies (e.g. general electorates and local government wards) of prisoners are determined when a prisoner enrols on the electoral roll or updates their details while in prison.

Specifically, I would like to know:

- If an eligible prisoner enrols to vote for the first time while in prison, do their electoral enrolment details reflect their prison address (i.e. would vote within the electorate or ward the prison is located in), or is it reflective of their previous address before imprisonment/address outside of prison?

- If the constituencies of prisoners are determined by the electorate a prison is located in, are enrolled prisoners prompted by Electoral Commission communication to update their electoral enrolment details in the lead up to a local or general election.

Yours faithfully,

Ella Morgan

Dear Electoral Commission,

I am interested in how the constituencies (e.g. general electorates and
local government wards) of prisoners are determined when a prisoner enrols
on the electoral roll or updates their details while in prison.

Specifically, I would like to know:

- If an eligible prisoner enrols to vote for the first time while in
prison, do their electoral enrolment details reflect their prison address
(i.e. would vote within the electorate or ward the prison is located in),
or is it reflective of their previous address before imprisonment/address
outside of prison?

- If the constituencies of prisoners are determined by the electorate a
prison is located in, are enrolled prisoners prompted by Electoral
Commission communication to update their electoral enrolment details in
the lead up to a local or general election.

Yours faithfully,

Ella Morgan
