Cevap

The edited register (also known as the open register) can be bought by any person or organisation and can be used for any purpose, such as businesses for marketing.
The edited register, often called the 'open register', is a version of the electoral roll that can be purchased by anyone. It is not used for the voting process itself but is commonly used by businesses and organisations for marketing or confirming identity. Individuals have the right to opt out of appearing on the edited register while remaining on the full register.
