No, you cannot email the register. As I sure the Chairman will know, when the local authority provides local government candidates or Deputies with copies of the register, that is often in electronic format. It is often emailed or provided in a compact disc or memory stick. Strictly speaking, anybody could pass that information on, but that would not be the practice. The electoral register is a very sensitive document. People from all parties who are entrusted with it, I assume, would treat it with the seriousness it requires. It would not be passed on. The only people with access to it are those who should have access to it during election time, which in general is candidates or key appointed members of their election teams.
