    Apologies in advance as this isn't exactly genealogy. I'm looking to view electoral registers for 2000 to 2019. I know you can view the current one online. Does anyone know where I can view the above years

    In person in the county library/archive for the constituency. They won't be online any time soon, basically - and the current one can only be checked for someones info you already know rather than seen in full online!

    Many (most? all?) county archives have not yet reopened for viewing despite libraries reopening today.

    Yes, I tried to look at books in my county archive today but they haven't reopened yet. They moved all the good history books there - such a failure considered the much more restrictive opening hours in archives compared to regular local libraries.

    Under GDPR etc I don't think Electoral registers are available for viewing in libraries etc. They are only available for searching for yourself.

    Local authorities publish 2 versions of the Register of Electors: the Full Register and the Edited Register.

    The Full Register lists everyone who is entitled to vote. Once a Full Register has been published, it can only be used for an electoral or other statutory purpose.

    The Edited Register contains the names and addresses of voters who have given their permission for their details to be used for other purposes (for example, for direct marketing use by a commercial company or other organisation).

    You can view any edited register in the library, take copies and use as above.
