Why we are collecting your data
The Electoral Registration Officer is a data controller and collects the personal data you provide for the purpose of registering your right to vote. You need to be registered to be able to vote in any election or referendum for which you are eligible. We have a duty to maintain a complete and accurate register throughout the year. We will only collect the personal data we need from you, in order to do this.
What is the legal basis for processing this data?
We do this in the performance of a task carried out in the public interest and in the exercise of our official duty under the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, the Representation of the People Regulations 2001 and the Elections Act 2020.
This ensures you are registered to vote in any election or referendum for which you are eligible. The law makes it compulsory to provide information to an electoral registration officer for inclusion in the full register.
We keep records about potential and actual voters, citizens, candidates, election agents and staff employed at elections. These may be written down, or kept on a computer.
The records may include:
Who will your information be shared with?
The information you provide is held in the electoral register which is managed by the Electoral Registration Officer who, using information received, keeps two registers – the full electoral register and the open (edited) register.
The full register is published annually and is updated at various points during the year. By law, it can only be supplied to the following people and organisations:
To verify your identity, the data you provide will be processed by the Individual Electoral Registration Digital Service managed by the Cabinet Office. As part of this process your data will be shared with the Department of Work and Pensions and the Cabinet Office suppliers that are data processors for the Individual Electoral Registration Digital Service. You can find more information about this on the Government website.
We also share your information with our software providers and contracted printers.
We will not ordinarily send your personal data outside of the European Economic Area. However, if you are an overseas elector, we may write to you at your location, eg to send you a postal vote.
It is a crime for anyone who has a copy of the full register to pass information from this register onto others, if they do not have a lawful reason to see it.
Anyone can inspect the full electoral register:
The open register contains the same style of information as the full register, but less of it due to many people ‘opting out’. The open register is not used for elections or referendums. It is updated and published every month and can be sold to any person, organisation or company for a wide range of purposes. It is used by businesses and charities for checking names and address details; users of the register include direct marketing firms and also online directory firms.
You can choose whether or not to have your personal details excluded from the open version of the register; however, your personal details will be included unless you ask for them to be removed. Removing your details from the open register will not affect your right to vote.
The Annual Canvass
At the start of the canvass process each year all Electoral Registration Officers have a legal responsibility to complete a data matching step.
This is to help identify properties where the residents are more likely to have changed since the previous canvassing process. Information obtained will determine the most effective method to be used to canvass the property. For national and local data matching, the match is linked to an individual.
There are two categories of data matching:
1. National data matching (required)
2. Local data matching (optional, if required) against other local authority records held within Rugby Borough Council
What is the legal basis for processing this data?
In accordance with Regulation 20 of the Representation of the People (Annual Canvass) (Amendments) Regulations 2019, we are required to share the electoral register with the Cabinet Office as part of Canvass Reform. Local data sets are available to Electoral Registration Officers under their existing powers provided by Regulations 23, 35 and 35A of the Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001 and the Representation of the People (Scotland) Regulations 2001.
How long will we hold the data for?
Once the purpose for obtaining the local personal data sets from Rugby Borough Council has expired, Electoral Services will destroy the data sets received securely.
Why collect data?
The Returning Officer is a data controller and collects personal data supplied in preparation for elections or referenda and to support results. We will only collect the personal data required in order to do this.
What is the legal basis for processing this date?
We do this in the performance of a task carried out in the public interest and in the exercise of our official duty under the Representation of the People Act 1985 and the Representation of the People Regulations 2001.
This ensures that elections or referenda are conducted in a robust, fair and transparent way.
We use records kept by the Electoral Registration Officer about potential and actual voters. In addition we compile and use data relating to:
These records may be written down, or kept on a computer.
We will publish the home address of each candidate on the Statement of Persons Nominated and the abllot paper, unless the candidate has notified us to withold in on the Home Address Form, which forms part of their nomination. If a candidate is deemed to be their own election agent, then we will publish the office address of the election agent on the Notice of Election Agents Names and Offices, even if this is their home address.
How long will we hold the data for?
The Electoral Registration Officer and Returning Officer are obliged to process personal data for the preparation of the electoral register and the subsequent organisation of elections or referenda. Personal details will be kept and updated in accordance with our legal obligations and in line with statutory retention periods.
Your rights
You are entitled to request a copy of any information about you that we hold. Any such requests should be made in writing.

This privacy notice relates to the self-isolation payment. It applies to information provided by post, email, telephone and online. This notice should be read in conjunction with the notice for Revenues and Benefits, which also applies.
The data controller is:
Rugby Borough Council, Town Hall, Evreux Way, Rugby CV21 2RR, United Kingdom.We will store the data in our computer and manual record systems and restrict access according to relevant policies and procedures.
We collect and process the personal data that you provide to us when completing your application for a self-isolation support payment, which may include:
We will obtain data from the NHS Test and Trace Service to confirm that you have either tested positive for COVID-19 or you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. As this data is related to your health it is referred to as ‘special category data’.
You or your nominated representative will also provide us with additional personal data in relation to your application for a Self-Isolation Payment.
We will carry out checks with the NHS Test and Trace Service and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), for verification purposes, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), for tax and National Insurance purposes, and potentially with your employer in validating your application.
Information relating to your application will also be sent to the DHSC to help understand public health implications, allow us to carry out anti-fraud checks and determine how well the scheme is performing.
We will not share this data with other organisations or individuals for any other purpose.
We will provide information to HMRC in relation to any payments we make because Self-Isolation Payments are subject to tax and National Insurance contributions. If you are self-employed, you will need to declare the payment on your self-assessment tax return.

The part of the law that applies here is section 251 of the National Health Service Act 2006 and Regulation 3 of the associated Health Service (Control of Patient Information) Regulations 2002.
