2008 electoral roll

The 2008 UK electoral roll is now available on some commercial sites. It pays to look at different sites to find out which is the best value for how many searches you need to do.

As well as the big players, the genealogy site, Findmypast has also introduced an electoral roll search service, which can be done using the site credits. This is probably one of the cheapest was to do electoral roll searches.

Remember though, that about 40% of people on the real electoral register opt out of the one that can be published by companies offering searches. If you can't find someone, they could have opted out of the edited version of the electoral roll and you can't access their information.
