Dear Mr Killock

Thank you for your recent email regarding the above information

I can advise that email addresses are held in the background of the Register of Electors for North Warwickshire. However these email addresses do not form part of any printed Register of Electors or the data copy of the Register of Electors.

We currently have 15,598 email addresses on our data base connected to individuals whose names appear on the Register of Electors. These email addresses will have been supplied by the individual at the registration stage of joining the electoral register (ie via the Government website, via an Invitation to Register form (supplied by this office), or via a Mobile Canvasser (employed by ourselves during the canvass stage).

These email addresses will not have been provided to candidates at the 2019 General Election or at any other election.

I trust that this answers your query, however, if you require any further details please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Emma Humphreys
