The full register lists everyone who is entitled to vote.

The UK's 3 Credit reference agencies, Equifax, Experian and Callcredit are allowed to use the full registers, but only to check your name and address if you are applying for credit, and to prevent money laundering. Anyone who has a copy of the full register will be committing a criminal offence if they unlawfully pass on information from it.

It is a criminal offence for organisations to pass it on to anyone else or to use it for any other purpose.

We do not have access to the full Electoral Registers after October 2002 but the Act does not effect access to or use of historical Electoral Rolls.
