Viewing the electoral register
The Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) is required to restrict access to the electoral register, inspection may only be allowed under supervision (Regulation 43 RPR 2001).
If you wish to view our electoral register, please contact the council customers service team to arrange an appointment by telephoning: 01242 262626 and select option 5.
When viewing the electoral register only handwritten notes may be taken. Photocopying or electronic recording are not allowed by law. Information from the full list may not be used for commercial purposes if the elector has ‘opted out’ of the edited voters list. You will be asked to sign a form to confirm you understand the above.
Anyone who fails to observe these conditions is committing a criminal offence (maximum fine £5,000).
The layout of the electoral register is prescribed in law. It is printed in polling district and street order within wards. It is not printed alphabetically in name order.
Historic electoral registers
Electoral Services does not retain historical copies of the electoral register.
You can view earlier versions of the register at Gloucestershire Archives. If you wish to visit their office it is advisable that you contact them in advance.
