Keep the electoral register for elections1

The LGA has published a survey today showing that the officials who manage electoral registers around the country believe that councils should stop selling the data to marketing companies. Too right – it’s utterly wrong that councils are allowed to treat the private information of voters and local residents as an asset to be hawked around. Banning this practice will be a positive step towards reminding councils that they don’t own us, we own them.
