electoral register

Official voter list

An electoral register is an official list of people eligible to vote in a particular jurisdiction.

Also called a voter roll or electoral roll, it serves as the authoritative record that polling officials consult to verify a person's right to cast a ballot.

In many countries, citizens must actively register to be included, while others maintain automatic enrollment.
