That was probably > illegal, but I don't know if it was ever taken to court. It was taken to the High Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court, and it was the courts that ruled it… out of court: 'Expats lose Supreme Court bid for EU referendum vote' - : "The UK's highest court upheld the decisions of both the High Court and Court of Appeal. / UK citizens are not eligible to vote on 23 June if they have lived outside the UK for more than 15 years." 'British expats lose legal battle for right to vote in EU referendum' - : "'Electoral registration officers currently retain records of previous electoral registers for a period of 15 years. They have no straightforward means of checking the previous residence status of British citizens who have been resident overseas for longer than 15 years.'" Ben, voilà.
