Being Friday, I will rise to the bait once again.
The ER cannot be sold to anybody whatsoever for any purpose whatsoever,

Subject: Re: Disclosing the electoral register
Dear All
I know it is Friday now, can we sort out this ER question once and for all?
There are two registers:
The full register
The full register lists everyone who is entitled to vote. You can check it
by
calling at
the council offices or at some local libraries. Only certain people and
organisations
can have copies of the full register, and they can only use it for specified
purposes.
These include electoral purposes, the prevention and detection of crime and
checking
your identity when you have applied for credit. The law says who can have a
copy
of the full register and what they can use it for. It is a criminal offence
for them to
pass it on to anyone else or to use it for any other purpose.
The edited register
The edited register leaves out the names and addresses of people who have
asked for
their names to be excluded from that version of the register. The edited
register can
be bought by anyone who asks for a copy and they may use if for any purpose.
So there you have it.
