(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The registration officer in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is required to issue a certificate of anonymous entry to persons with an anonymous entry in the electoral register maintained by that officer.
Regulation 2 provides that any such certificate of anonymous entry can be used by a candidate as evidence that a donor is registered in an electoral register for the purpose of reporting donations to the Electoral Commission.
