Consent to link electoral register data Version B
Question text:
Some people who think they are registered to vote are actually not registered for one reason or another. We would like to link your name and address in order to find out how many people this applies to. To do this we would like your permission to match information held on the electoral register to you. 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?
Question universe:
if (ff_eleclinkinw10 = 1) & (ff_elecwordw10 = 2) (In electoral register linkage opt-in experimental group AND in electoral register linkage wording experiment Version B)
