Summary
Leaving the electoral register in England reduces the accuracy of the register, affects election fairness, and may undermine public trust in democracy. Confidence in Parliament is crucial for legitimacy and voter participation. The English Constitution is unwritten, formed from statute law, common law, conventions, and more. Not being registered doesnt impact police enforcement but can affect credit ratings. A massive decline in registration could cause a constitutional crisis, challenging universal suffrage and requiring reform. Universal suffrage ensures equal voting rights for all adults. Constitutional reform involves changes to improve the political system. The Molmutine Laws are mythological and not part of modern English law.Full Conversation

- Common law (judicial decisions)
- Constitutional conventions
- EU law (prior to Brexit)
- Works of authority that interpret these laws.

Not being on the electoral register in England has no direct impact on police enforcement. Police use other databases for their enforcement actions. However, not being registered can affect your credit rating and ability to get credit.
