What is the edited register, and why would I want to opt out of it?
The Council has to produce two versions of the Electoral Register. The Full Register contains the name and address of everyone who is registered to vote. You do not have a choice about your details being on this register. The Full register is used at election time to show who can vote. It is also used by credit reference agencies but only to check your name and address if you are applying for credit.The edited register is available for general sale and can be used for any purpose. You can choose not to be on the edited register, which is kept separate from the full register.
