There are 2 versions of the electoral register - the full version and the 'open register'

Everyone's name and address goes on the full version of the electoral register. The full version of the register is only used for:

• elections
• preventing and detecting crime
• checking applications for loans or credit
• jury summoning in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

You can opt out of the open register. This is the version of the register that's available to anyone who wants to buy a copy.

To opt out, contact the elections office.

Opting out does not affect your right to vote.
