Electoral Registration???

[puddicat]

Just received a letter which i havent opened yet but on the bottom of the window says "You are by law to give the information required"do i have to fill in it and sent it back???

[Ethel]

It says 'You are by law .....'

Yes

[legend_mark6]

Perhaps you should open the letter ??

You might find it difficult to get credit if you don't, I believe banks etc., can use the register to confirm you live where you say you live.

[puddicat]

just have, filled it in, will post when i go out later!!!

Questions like this make me question users sanity.
Why would you get a letter .Read outside .think about it .not open it , instead go online to ask if whats printed on an envelope in your hands is true?


Why not just open the letter ?

[legend_mark6]

You can choose to remove yourself from the register .
but still must provide the information as far as im aware.


If you dont require credit , then it wont make any difference.

Trigger theres a broad chasm of difference between being required by law to do something and actually being arrested.


And im sure it can be googled ?

It just came differently this time,have binned many and havent be arrested, also always been able to vote,we are due a election soon thats why we are getting these i think!!!

[Lakitu]

I binned mine too, Puddi, I'l also be binning the Census when that comes through.

[cazzz1975]

you should fill in the census!! years from now your future families will be trying to find you!!

As someone who has searched census' for family its a pain in the bum when they disappear for years :(

[what..the?]

Because i rent and move house alot I am on the electoral register at a relatives address in the nearby county, I do like the vote etc I fell it is important but as I move alot I dont think I live anywhere long enough to make it worth while and as my relative is a member of a political party where I vote and on the local council it helps him more to vote there.

However to keeps screwing up applying for things and opening accounts online, beacuse I am not registered at the property companies have to request copies of passports and all sorts of personal infoprmation from me, I have to post these to them which is a security risk for me, just to prove I live there and my identity. But a cannot see how the electoral register can keep upto date anyway with all my house moves so will I be better off registering anyway?

If you don't fill in the electoral register form, then surely you don't get a vote?

If you don't vote, how can you have an opinion if you don't like the present government?

Just a theory?
