Consent to link electoral registry data for opt-out condition

Question text:

We want to make sure we accurately record your willingness to consent to this linkage. We would like to link the answers you have given in this survey to other information about the proportion of people round here who voted. To do this we would like your permission to match your name and address to information held on the electoral register. This matching will only be done with information that is already publicly available, and will NOT include any information about who you voted for. Would you be willing for us to add administrative data from the electoral register to the answers you have given us today?
