The electoral register

When you register to vote, your name goes on the electoral register, which is a list of people eligible to vote, there are two types of register:

  • The full electoral register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote in public elections. The register is used for limited purposes specified in law, such as detecting crime (e.g. fraud), calling people for jury service, checking credit applications
  • The open register is a list of name and addresses that can be bought by any person, company or organisation. 

Removing your name from the open register

Your name and address 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.

If your details are on the open register and you want them removed contact us at elections@north-norfolk.gov.uk or call 01263 516046.

The gov.uk legislation website has further information on the two types of register.
