If a general election is called, the rolling register effectively reopens for 11 (I think) days. That’s not quite accurate (I guess it might be clarified elsewhere on the EC site?).

It is already to late to get signed in under the rolling procedure. James, are you de-registered under your old address? You may still have the right to vote as from there.

While I think there are a numberof arguments against an autumn election James' lack of administrative finesse isn't one of them!
