Types of electoral register
When you register to vote, your name will go on an electoral register. This is a list of people eligible to vote.
We have to keep 2 registers.

This is a securely held list of names and addresses. The register is used for limited purposes specified in law, such as elections, detecting crime (e.g. fraud) and checking credit applications.
