@queekusme@mastodon.scot Not AFAIK. FWIW there are limits to what it can be used for, But some parties are not noted for their adherence to electoral law. It is just name, address and (where relevant) date of maturation. But it also includes the flag about whether you want to be kept off the public register, and parties could choose to interpret that as "no contact", but that is not really its function. The unadressed Freepost election communications do not rely on the register, and there is no escape.
