The general election poses specific problems for survivors of domestic violence, because of the public nature of the electoral register. However, a victim / survivor of domestic violence and abuse may be able to register anonymously if they can show that there’s a good reason (for example, concern about their safety).

Your details won’t appear on either version of the electoral register if you register anonymously.

You can contact your local Electoral Registration Office to find out if you can register anonymously. They will probably ask for evidence showing why you need to register anonymously. You can download the application form for anonymous registration here.

Additional information on the electoral roll and open register

 

It is also worth remembering that you can remove your details from 192.com if needs be.

192.com is a website which allows users to search the information contained on the electoral roll since 2002. For a small fee, users are able to find an individual’s name, address, age, phone number and co-habitants. This is the form needed to remove a person’s details from the website.
