The electoral register

The electoral register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote in public elections. It is used for electoral purposes, such as making sure only people who are eligible can vote. It is also used for other limited legally specified activities, such as -

  • detecting crime such as fraud
  • calling people for jury service
  • checking credit applications

If your registration is affecting your credit score, contact us through the form below for advice.

Electoral Register enquiries

The Revised Electoral Register is published on 1 December each year. During the year, by law, we must publish updates on the first working day of every month.

The electoral register is sometimes called the electoral roll. It lists the names and addresses of everyone who's registered to vote. Find out more on GOV.UK.

We keep 2 registers -

  • the electoral register, also referred to as the full register
  • the open register, also referred to as the edited register
