Anonymous voting

You may be able to register anonymously if you are concerned about your name and address appearing on the electoral register because you think that it could affect your personal safety, or the safety of someone in the same household as you.

You will need to:

• explain why your safety (or the safety of someone in the same household as you) would be at risk if your name and address appeared on the electoral register
• provide documentary evidence of a court order or an attestation from a qualifying officer to support your application

A qualifying officer can be any of the following (anywhere in the UK).

• A police officer of or above the rank of superintendent in any police force in the UK
• Director General of the Security Services or the National Crime Agency
• A Director of Adult Social Services or Children’s Services in England, a Director of Social Services in Wales, a Chief Social Work Officer in Scotland, a Director of Social Services.
