The inclusion of this information to their online people search website will significantly help increase user's tracing success rates and reunite many more families and friends.

The Electoral Roll is an extremely important reference point for those individuals looking to find lost family members and friends, as it provides the most accurate snapshot of the UK's population. Commenting on inclusion of Electoral Roll 2011 data within their database, Paul Weathersby, Eroll's Technical Director stated:

"Electoral Roll data plays a pivotal role in the tracing process, and the more accurate and recent the data, the more likely it is that a trace can be conducted successfully. As a business, it is crucial to us that our customers enjoy the highest success rates possible, we therefore aim to provide access to Electoral Roll data at the earliest possible opportunity each year."

Maintaining the accuracy of this information is of high importance to Eroll, who will be updating the 2011 Electoral Roll on a monthly basis using Rolling Register updates. The Rolling Register allows people to re-register on the Electoral Roll if their personal circumstances change mid-electoral year. Rolling Register updates account for approximately 250,000 amendments each month.

Noting the importance of ensuring that their customers have the latest data made available to them, Owen Roberts, Head of PR at Eroll, commented:

"Our aim is to help people reunite with their families and reconnect with friends that they've lost contact with. The addition of the 2011 Electoral Roll and our commitment to keep this updated on a monthly basis highlights our devotion to reuniting family and friends."
