Following a report about a letter sent to a dead person for registration in the electoral register, the Civil Registry and Migration Department of the Ministry of Interior expresses its regret and apology, explaining that the unfortunate incident was due to a weakness in the system in operation since 2000, which did not provide for adequate recording of all data, including the date of death.
As a result, ten similar incidents were identified during the recent mailing of 29,563 letters as part of the electoral registration campaign to citizens aged 18-25.
The Home Office apologises for the unfortunate incident and confirms that appropriate action has already been taken to ensure that a similar incident is not repeated in the future.
