The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2001 provides for the compilation of a "full" and "edited" register of electors. The first "edited" register, which must be published in draft form by 1 November 2004, will contain the names of persons who have indicated that they have no objection to their details being used for purposes other than electoral or other statutory uses. The "full" register for a Dáil constituency will be made available to each member of the Dáil for that constituency in the normal way; however, it will be an offence to use it for anything other than electoral or other statutory use.
