Petition Have an opt in policy for publishing your personal details from the electoral role on-line.

More details

As it stands, when you fill in the electoral role form, your details can then be published on-line, or used by third parties. Any one can search your name and find your address. This should be an opt in only policy, and not opt out, which it currently is on the present form and is very obscure in the way it is explained. This needs changing for protection of your personal details being published unwittingly in such a readily available format.
