Thousands of voters wiped off NI electoral register

Over 80,000 people wiped off Northern Ireland's annual electoral register were today urged to demand their votes back in time for the next Assembly election.

Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams, whose West Belfast constituency saw the biggest drop of all the North's constituencies, described the dramatic fall in eligible voters on last Friday's list as a damning indictment of the registration process in the North.
