Because a lot of voting registration areas did not tell anyone.
The electoral commission actually said the process was flawed when there was an audit in 2014.
I registered as my address changed. 0 information was given. The form cannot be found online either. edit: just found it, going to post it. My Dutch registration actually points out clearly you need two registrations, EU and Dutch voting.
It's no problem to have to do two registrations. Of course not.
Some authorities do tell you, some send it automatically by post, I've ask the NI electoral office what their process is.

I'm not sure what you're outraged about? People have to register to vote. That's true for UK citizens as well. It's one more form, but I doubt it's due to any type of formal/institutional desire to deny rights. I can tell you it was much more difficult in another EU country outside the UK - involving a trip to the police.
