electoral roll, planning permission applications[1],

do they have names on?

The former would be pretty useless without names on, and yes, the latter
do, or I wouldn't have mentioned it.


I recently discovered

Part-B-Entitlement-to-register-March-2010.pdf

Some special category electors must be entered on the register
without their qualifying address or without their name and qualifying
address. Further information on such electors can be found in Part F,
‘Special category electors’.

Yes, I'm aware of that[1] and this precaution is only available after
you've been at risk, and obviously can't be retrospective to previous
electoral rolls and those databases which have scraped them. It's very
much for the situation I mentioned earlier, of going into hiding after
your safety has been compromised.

[1] There was also some hiccup along the lines they forgot to make the
list of special category electors immune from FOI requests.
