Residents can choose whether their details appear on the open register, which may be accessed by businesses and organisations for various purposes.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich maintains two voter registers: the electoral register and the open register. The electoral register is used for elections, law enforcement, jury service, and identity checks. The open register can be purchased by businesses and organisations for activities such as marketing, identity verification, and tracing individuals. Residents can opt out of the open register when registering to vote or by contacting the Electoral Registration Office. Find out more here.
