UK Register of Electors

In the UK, the legally enforced requirement to notify the authorities of one's address is not just to enable one to vote, even if one has no wish to vote, at five year intervals for another set of crooked self-seeking politicians.

Its first prime use is to inform the authorities if needed, of where to find you, to arrest you, to search your property, or to confiscate it, - for criminal or political reasons.

Its second prime use is to draw an income from selling the list of voters and their residence, to commercial organisations, credit firms, debt collectors etc.

It may not help to locate the footloose army of illegal property squatters and others who sleep rough or shift about from the apartments of one acquaintance to another.
