Wiltshire saw a surge in people registering to vote in 2019 amid a busy year for both local and national elections.
Data from the Office for National Statistics shows that 384,578 people were registered to vote in Wiltshire on December 1 last year.
Registrations had increased by 18,488 from December 2018, the ONS figures show, following a drop of 1,596 between 2017 and 2018.
The Electoral Commission welcomed a record high number of registrations across the UK, but warned the system needs modernising to make applications 'simpler and more effective' in future.
Across the UK, there were 49.2 million registrations at local authority level in 2019, a 2.9 per cent increase from 2018.
Local government electoral registrations include those from EU citizens who can vote in council elections but not elections to parliament.
The same data shows there were 47.1 million parliamentary electoral registrations across the UK last year – the highest ever seen, and a 2.8 per cent increase from 2018.
