1 AHR SURVEY: NATIONAL RESULTS Survey conducted by MES December 2017 If you would like a localised benchmarking report so you can see how your own Electoral Services Department compares to this nationwide view, please contact us at ERSResearch@electoralreform.co.uk and request a copy for just VAT
2 INTRODUCTION From July through November 2017, all households in the UK were asked to confirm the details of those living at the address who were eligible to vote. Households confirmed this by using the ERS automated service or returned a form by post. The ERS automated service gave the choice of using telephone, online or SMS text for households to respond to confirm their details. Those needing to change details or add new residents to their household were also able to do this using the online service. Those who used the online service were invited to take part in a short survey at the end of the process. We had a robust response with 356,746 respondents across 200 councils taking part. Participation in the survey was purely voluntary, no incentive was offered for completion. Standard questions were benchmarked so individual councils could measure their results against all participating authorities. However, this report presents the overall, topline results only. The key objectives of the study were: To understand more about the profile of those who used the automated service. To understand their opinion on the service provided by their council's Electoral Services Department. To better understand: how well informed residents feel about the electoral process including registration whether residents visit their council's Electoral Services Department website and why or why not whether residents contact their council's Electoral Services Department and why or why not residents past and potential future voting behaviours The survey ran from 1st of July to 30th November It should be noted that the timing of the survey varied from council to council, which may account for some difference in response.

20 Response Profile: Acorn group Top 3 Acorn groups at a glance: Executive Wealth 19% These are wealthy families living in larger detached or semi-detached properties either in the suburbs, the edge of towns or in semi-rural locations. While these are generally family areas there are also some empty nesters and better-off retired couples. Many families own their home but a good number may still be repaying a mortgage. The likelihood of these families owning a second home, in the UK or abroad, is over five times the UK average. Incomes are good since many have managerial and professional occupations with perhaps one in five being company directors. It is rare to find households earning less than the average. They tend to be financially literate people more likely to have multiple bank accounts and credit cards, and the incomes to spend relatively freely. These families are usually financially secure and three times more likely to have a variety of investment vehicles. Personal pensions and significant levels of savings are also more likely. They tend to be frequent users of the Internet, generally more for practical than entertainment purposes such as shopping and keeping up with current affairs, although many will also read the broadsheets. Modern technology such as DAB radio, ipads or tablet PC s, portable media players and smartphones are more likely to be owned, and those with children may well have purchased games consoles. These are high income people, successfully combining jobs and families. Mature Money 13% Steady Neighbourhoods - 9% These people tend to be older empty nesters and retired couples. Many live in rural towns and villages, others live in the suburbs of larger towns. They are prosperous and live in larger detached or semi-detached houses or bungalows. Many have two cars, others may have down-sized to live in good quality apartments. Some will own second homes. These are high income households and even those that have retired have good incomes. Employment is typically in managerial and professional roles. A good number own their homes outright and with many having no mortgage to pay are able to invest their money in a wide range of financial products. While some might have a DAB radio these people do not generally favour new technology and are less likely than average to have a smartphone or tablet PC. Some may prefer free digital TV services to Sky or cable options. In their leisure time they enjoy gardening, walking, photography or golf. They appreciate good food and wine and will go on regular holidays. They often shop at Waitrose, M&S and John Lewis and may well read the Daily Telegraph, Times, Mail and Express. These older, affluent people have the money and the time to enjoy life. These home-owning families, often middle aged, are living comfortably in suburban and urban locations. They mainly own older, lower priced, three bedroom terraced or semi-detached homes, which they may have occupied for many years. Families might include young children, teenagers or young adults who have not yet left home. These areas will also include some empty nesters. People typically have GCSE and A level qualifications although some have degrees. They tend to be employed in a range of middle management and clerical roles or as shop workers and semi-skilled manual workers and overall household incomes are around the national average. Their spending, and interaction with financial services broadly mirrors the national average. Most in this group have some small savings, an ISA and perhaps a few shares. Although they do generally use the internet, few of these people will go online extensively on a regular basis. They are more likely to read the Daily Mirror, Daily Express or Daily Star than a broadsheet paper. Celebrity, travel, cooking and glossy women s magazines may be popular with some. These working families form the bedrock of many towns across Britain. Residents Feedback Survey, July November Base: 356,746. For more information on Acorn please visit CACI's dedicated microsite at
