Simple terms explainer:
Councils must maintain accurate electoral registers and produce both the full register and the open register in accordance with electoral law. The full register contains the names and addresses of all eligible voters and is used for elections, jury service, and certain official purposes. The open register is a version that can be purchased and used for commercial purposes unless individuals opt out. Councils must ensure these registers are kept up to date, secure, and accessible for lawful use.
