117.—(1) Any person entitled to be supplied, in accordance with regulation 99, 102, 104, 105, 107, 108 or 112, with copies of the full register at the time of a parliamentary election is also a person entitled, subject to this regulation and to regulation 119, to request that a sheriff clerk supply copies of the relevant part (within the meaning of those regulations) of the marked register or lists he is required to keep.
(2) A person who was entitled to request copies of the marked register or lists under paragraph (1) by being in a category of persons covered by regulation 102, 104, 105 or 107 before a particular election, shall be entitled to request those documents regardless of whether he remains in an entitled category after that election for which the marked register or list was prepared.
(3) A request under paragraph (1) shall be made in writing and shall–
(a)specify which of the marked register or lists (or the relevant part of the register or lists) are requested;
(b)state whether a printed copy of the records or lists is requested or a copy in data form;
(c)state the purposes for which the marked register or lists will be used and why the supply or purchase of a copy of the full register or unmarked lists would not be sufficient to achieve those purposes.
(4) The sheriff clerk shall supply a copy of the relevant part of the marked register or lists where a request is duly made, and–
(a)he is satisfied that the requestor needs to see the marks on the marked register or lists in order to achieve the purpose for which it is requested, and
(b)he has received payment of a fee calculated in accordance with regulation 120.
(5) If the sheriff clerk is not satisfied in accordance with paragraph (4)(a) he may treat the request for a marked register or list as a request for information in unmarked lists under regulation 61 or for the published copy of the full register in accordance with regulation 101, or both.
(6) A person who obtains a copy of any part of a marked register or list under this regulation may use it only for the permitted purposes specified in paragraph (2) of regulation 119, and any conditions–
(a)specified in that paragraph; or
(b)which would apply to the use of the full register under whichever of regulations 99, 102, 104, 105, 107, 108 or 112 entitled that person to obtain that document,
shall apply to such use.
[F2(7) Where a person has been supplied with a marked register or list, or any information contained in it (that is not contained in the edited register), by a person to whom regulation 99(3), 102(3), 104(4), 105(3), 107(5) or 108(3) applies, the restrictions in that paragraph of that regulation also apply to the person to whom the register, list or information was supplied, as they apply to that other person.]
(8) Any person who has obtained or is entitled to obtain a copy of the marked register or lists under this regulation may–
(a)supply a copy of the marked register or lists to a processor for the purpose of processing the information contained therein; or
(b)procure that a processor processes and supplies to them any copy of the information in the marked register or lists which the processor has obtained under this regulation,
for use in respect of the purposes for which that person is entitled to obtain such copy or information (as the case may be).]
