introduction letter, DVD, policy booklet and a return envelope.
3.The branch will receive the fee of any electorate who joins.
4.Your branch will be invoiced monthly to spread the cost.

Young Independence feel very strongly that we are the only youth
group in politics that can give young people a real voice. To achieve
this we need your help.

A very good idea but can we still buy the VR, or do we have to sit in the library and write out all the details. My son use to have a job where he purchased VR's and made a fortune from compiling marketing lists, well not a fortune but quite a lot.

Sorry Bob, what do you mean by VR, please?

Voters Register, now called Electoral Role, or has that changed as well.

Things have changed, Bob: Libraries don't stock them, anymore, I believe, because there are now TWO versions:

An 'edited' version of the register, which omits those people who have chosen to 'opt-out', can be purchased by anyone for any purpose.

The full register contains the following information:

voter number (two letters indicating the polling district, followed by a number)
voter's name and address
date of birth (if 18th birthday falls within a year of the register is published)
if the voter has requested a postal vote
after an election, an indication of whether or not that voter cast their vote

This is why Young Independence are asking branches, who are entitled to the full one, to send copies in...
