Well got some mail today for Rocket Herald, and Eleyne de Comnocke.
From the Registrar of Electors.
Dear Sir/Madam
A check of our records shows you are not enrolled to vote as an elector at your current address.
If you qualify for enrolment as an elector then you are required by law to apply to be on the electoral roll.
[...]
If you do not qualify as an elector could you please contact me.
Thank you.
[Signed]
I called the number and got the voice mail of the person who signed the letter (rather than an anonymous call centre) which was a pleasant surprise. I'll try again on Monday and explain that they are just aliases. I can only presume that the post office gives the electoral office all the names that you set up mail forwarding for. Seeing as I get more mail addressed to Rocket Herald than my mundane name, I had put those two names on the mail forwarding as well, and ticked the "over 18" box which must have triggered the data sharing.
A shame they couldn't manage to forward my voting papers for the referendum successfully, and I fear that at least one submission has gone missing as well.
Well back to work.
sca,
