The Electoral Register...again.

[10ClarionSt]

Some folks may remember that I asked about gaining access to the ER a few weeks ago. Well, I went into Manchester Central Library yesterday and asked the girl if I could have access. She asked me which area of Manchester, I told her, and she came back with a folder of about 100 pages. She showed me which pages I needed, then left me to it. A few minutes later, having found what I needed, I handed it back to her. No problems. Took less than 10 minutes. Not as difficult as some on here had made out.

On this link it says you can view the register in the Central Library under supervision, so it's not available online. I wasn't supervised. The girl just handed me the folder and told me what pages to look at. Then she moved away and left me to it. Simples!

Gotta ask, is this person going to be pleased to be contacted by you?

Errr,thanks for that 10C,but it still doesnt explain why the ER(which is a UK government organisation)isnt on-line.Does the Stasi still exist in the Electoral Register lot?

ynnaf, I have given you the link to search it online.

The full register is not online due to data protection - you would be able to search by name, not street name as in the paper version. Stalkers paradise and heaven for junk mail marketeers.

10C, did you check the phone book?https://www.thephonebook.bt.com/person/

Okay.Thanx for that,bazza.Over and out.x

Sorry for the late reply, ladybirder, but I don't think the person will be too pleased. This is something that they need to know, and I have been tasked with, but I'm sure it will not be well received. Can't say more.
