Electoral registration officer




In the United Kingdom, an electoral registration officer (ERO) is a person who has the statutory duty to compile and maintain the electoral roll[1] (which includes conducting the annual canvass[2]). Any expenses incurred by an electoral registration officer in the performance of his/her functions are paid by the local authority which made the appointment,[3] except in Northern Ireland, where the Chief Electoral Officer's expenses are covered by the Northern Ireland Office.[4]
