Annual Canvass: I Have Read the Notes on the Registration Form but Still Don't Understand What the Edited Register Is.

The edited register is separate from the voting register but is compiled from the details supplied on the registration form. It is available for general sale and can be used for any purpose. The edited register can be bought by any person, company or commercial organisation and can be used for commercial activities such as marketing. If you do not want your details used in this way put a tick in the box against your name. Even if you have chosen not to appear on the edited register in previous years, you still need to make sure that you indicate in Box 8 if you do not wish to appear on the next revised edited register. You must also ask each person named on the form if they want to opt out of the edited register.
