The electoral register explained

What the electoral register is

The electoral register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote in public elections. The register is used for making sure only eligible people can vote. It is also used for other limited purposes specified in law, such as detecting crime (e.g. fraud), calling people for jury service and checking credit applications. It is a criminal offence for anyone to supply or use the register for anything else.

The current register was published on 1 December 2024 and is available for inspection under supervision at our three main council offices:
Trowbridge - County Hall, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN
Salisbury - The Council Offices, Bourne Hill, Salisbury, SP1 3UZ
Chippenham - The Council Offices, Monkton Park, SN15 1ER

What the open register is

The open register is an extract of the electoral register but it is not used for elections. It can be bought by any person, company or organisation. For example, it is used by businesses and charities to confirm name and address details.

Your name and addresses will be included on the open register unless you opt out. You check if you are on the open register or ask to be removed at any time by contacting us by post or . Please provide your full name and address and state that you wish to be removed from the open register.

If you wish to purchase a copy of the open register, email elections@wiltshire.gov.uk (opens new window) and include the electoral area you would like to purchase for a quote. The cost of purchasing the open register is set down in law.

You can find more information about both registers and how they may be used on GOV.UK: The electoral register and the 'open register' (opens new window).

Your name and address will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. You can remove your details at any time by contacting us. Please provide your name and address and state that you wish to be removed from the open register.
