At every election there is a huge emphasis on registration drives, especially in the lead up to the deadline. Automatically registering people should reduce those pressures and allow for a greater focus on the more important challenge – encouraging people to cast their vote.
Wales becomes the first UK nation to introduce Automatic Voter Registration

Regarding Ceuta, it is noticeable that the far-right and their media allies don’t point out that third-country nationals in Ceuta DO NOT get free movement to mainland Spain or the EU or the Schengen area. Ceuta is separated from mainland Spain by the Straits of Gibraltar which they cannot cross.
