Ok. As I said, I know parties get access. What I was asking was whether anyone can buy the register. Cheers.

I don't get your first point. Re the second point, again, I received campaign material with my name and home address on the envelope, and I was informed that anyone could put in a request to buy a copy of the electoral register list. #SpeirGorm

Good to know, thanks. They didn't mention that when I enquired.

Thanks for this. I did ask before re the Seanad electorate list and was told then that anyone can buy a copy, not just political parties. Perhaps @tupped.bsky.social might know more about it.

Are people still allowed purchase copies of the registered electorate list, with names and addresses included? Why do I receive campaign mail with my name and home address on the envelope? #SpeirGorm

No worries and thanks for getting back to me.

Not sure. I know this isn't right either but I'm thinking of terms like cultural naivety.
