Electoral rolls In the past, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) electoral roll was used to verify the full name and address of a being searched for for the purpose of family tracing and re-establishing – relationships for Forgotten Australians, Former Child Migrants, and people affected by past forced adoption practices. At the beginning of 2013 the AEC began implementing the restrictive legislation introduced some years prior to ensure that the Commonwealth electoral roll was not accessed for purposes other than electoral business. The AEC has advised that the electoral roll cannot be used to verify name and address for anyone’s family searching purposes. Support services should check State and Territory Electoral Commission websites regarding the approved purpose for inspection of publically-available State and Territory electoral rolls - approved purposes vary across jurisdictions.
