What is the Electoral Register?

The electoral register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote. It’s used for electoral and other purposes specified in the law, specifically:

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

The open register is an extract of the electoral register, but is not used for elections. It can be bought by any person, company or organisation. For example, companies and charities use it to confirm names and addresses.
