Dear all,
Many thanks for responses. I've been in touch with the DCA on this one
and have established that there is no obligation on data controllers to
release personal data to the Electoral Registration Officer - the
obligation rests with the individual.
Something to consider however for the data collection notice for next
year - think we should be doing what we are legitimately able to in
assisting the democratic process.
Gerry.
