Unpublished Electoral Roll (New Zealand)
A statutory privacy safeguard in New Zealand that allows individuals whose safety is at risk to withhold their name and address from the public electoral roll.
Full definition
Under Section 115 of the Electoral Act 1993, New Zealand residents can apply to the Electoral Commission to have their details placed on the Unpublished Electoral Roll (formerly the Confidential Roll) if they believe that having their information published on the publicly viewable electoral roll could threaten their personal safety or the safety of their family. This is an essential public-record suppression tool in New Zealand, supported by a police report, protection order, or statutory declaration.
