The register is prepared by the electoral registration officer at the district, borough or city council. 

The register is in force for a period of one year from 16 February each year. A person who has not reached the age of 18 by that date, but will do so during the life-span of the register, will have the date of their 18th birthday entered against their name. No person may vote until they have reached their 18th birthday. 

Each candidate is entitled to a copy of the register as far as it relates to the electoral area and the absent voters list.
