UPRNs as a first-class Citizen in WhereDIV: 5 - Questions

Good Questions for Councils/EMS people

  • What is the source/base for Address Data in your EMS: how do addresses get in there?
  • Are there rules about what address I can be registered to vote at?
    • What happens if I try to register at an address that isn't in your DB?
    • What if I pop up at "37A High Street" but your DB only has "37 High Street" in it?
    • What happens if I try to register at a business address?
    • What happens if I try to register at a PO Box?
  • Are there reasons why sometimes we might see a 'parent' address and sometimes we might see a 'child' address?
  • Is it possible to arrive at the list of addresses in your EMS from AddressBase as a start point?
  • How much of this is dictated by:
    • Software?
    • Legislation?
    • Local councils?
  • Why and how do properties with no UPRN end up in your EMS?
