I have an ex partner who is unpleasant and obsessive. He harassed me for a period of time after we split.
I have moved home now to a new block of flats and am taking steps to keep my whereabouts as private as possible in case he tries to find me.
I've looked into registering to vote anonymously but without any police reports it seems like quite a hard thing to do.
Even not being on the open register seems risky as the info is passed to certain third parties and your name and address can be looked up from the hard copy in the local library.
I may just return the 'register to vote form' with a X on the 'nobody here is eligible to vote' and then select the 'second home' option. My parents home is nearby and If asked I will say I thought I was registered there - as I do spend a significant amount of time there anywhere. However i've not actually registered there yet and would just prefer not to register anywhere.
Or I could just ignore the letter. I live in a block of flats so it's not like they can ever catch me in person.
My question is would the electoral office stop contacting me once I select the 'second home' box or will they continue to contact me?
At the end of the day I do have a legitimate need for privacy and I'd rather keep safe and keep my peace of mind.
Anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
