    1. [AUS-QLD] Some Discussion on List recently whether electoral rolls are publicly available
    2. Hi There was some discussion on the list recently whether electoral rolls are publicly available or not.. Some people went to the electoral office and they said in effect no. Well, they are: at the state library. I just rang them. They said the latest ones are not avaible on microfilm i.e.2013, but if you go to level 4, with your names you can look it up on the hard copy. Probably they would get sick of if they were helping you with dozens of names as I am about to do, but at least you should be able to look up uncommon names and get the latest addresses, or if you have specific names they will help you look them up. I would think its only if you looking up like a 100 they would question it. All old rolls- like for previous elections are available too- but as I understand it they are on microfilm. There: don't go to the electoral office. I had a feeling at the time that they were available. I know the electoral office only allows access to your listing, to correct a listing, or for election related purposes....eg if you were a candidate and needed to post a letter to everyone in your electorate. I guess if you are not in Brisbane, though, this does not help. Warm Regards Chris ------------------------- Email sent using Optus Webmail
