Dear Jim, you’re FOI has been forwarded to us from South Staffs Council.

 

I confirm that we do not hold personal email addresses in the Electoral
Register.

 

We do however retain some personal emails from electors who have applied
to register to vote in our election management system

I can not say how many are held as we don’t have a report to quantify
them.

The emails are given to us by the electors themselves.

At no time would any electors emails be provided to election candidates.

We have never supplied electors emails in other prior elections.

 

Regards

Sarah
