Release of enrolment information

We only share voters' details if:

• we are required to by law
• it is in the public interest to share them with an organisation.

We do not share the details of silent electors.

Information we are required to share

The Electoral Act 2002 requires us to make the electoral roll available for public view. You can access the roll at our head office. The roll is not available to view online. 

By law, we are also required to provide voter's details to:

• registered political parties, Members of Parliament (MPs) and candidates
• local councils
• the Juries Commissioner.

We do not provide email addresses or phone numbers.

More information about your privacy.
