The register must contain—

(a)

the names of the persons who appear to the registration officer to be entitled to be registered in it;

(b)

the qualifying address of the person registered in it; and

(c)

in relation to each such person, that person’s electoral number.

(3)

A person’s electoral number is such a number (with or without letters) as for the time being allocated by the petition officer to that person as that person’s electoral number for the purposes of the register.

(4)

Paragraph (2)(b) does not apply—

(a)

to an address which is specified in an overseas elector’s declaration; or

(b)

to service voter who has given an address in their declaration which is not an address at which that person is or would be residing but for the circumstances entitling that person to make that declaration.

(5)

Where the petition officer designates more than one petition signing place, the register is to be framed in separate parts and each part must contain the list of persons who are entitled to sign the petition at that place.

(6)

Each part of the register must be identified by a different letter and that letter must also form part of a person’s number in the register for the purposes of signing the petition.
