The electoral register

The open register

The open register is an extract of the electoral register, but is not used for elections. It can be bought by -

  • any person
  • a company
  • an organisation

It is used by businesses and charities to confirm name and address details. Or it can be used for commercial activities such as marketing. Your name and address details will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. Removing your details from the open register does not affect your right to vote.

Opt in or out of the open register
