Direction Not to Disclose Information

PURSUANT to section 32 (4) of the Official Information Act 1982 a copy of a direction to the Director-General of the Post Office (being the Chief Registrar of Electors) is hereby published for public information. The grounds for the direction and the source and purport of the advice on which it is based are set out in the direction.

Director-General
Chief Registrar of Electors.

NATIONAL ALPHABETICAL ELECTORAL LISTING

1. The Postmaster-General and the Minister of Justice have decided that the information sought by Messrs Copeland, Fitzpatrick and Company on behalf of their client, Debt Recovery Company New Zealand Limited, and recommended to be released by the Ombudsman pursuant to section 30 (2) of the Official Information Act 1982, a combined electoral roll for New Zealand, should not be made available to them, and accordingly direct you pursuant to section 32 (1) (a) of the Official Information Act 1982 not to release it.

2. The grounds for the direction are:

(a) Access to information contained in the electoral roll is governed by the particular provisions of the Electoral Act 1956 as amended. By virtue of that Act, copies of printed main and supplementary rolls for electoral districts only are authorised to be supplied to the general public as electoral roll information in documentary form. Access to other electoral roll information is available only on personal inspection at the Registrar’s office. We have been advised and have concluded that on a proper construction of the provisions of the Electoral Act 1956 and of the Official Information Act 1982 the provisions of the former Act govern access to electoral roll information and accordingly govern the proper response to the company’s request, and that those provisions do not authorise compliance with the request that has been made;

(b) Electoral roll information is personal information within the meaning of the Official Information Act 1982. We have been advised and have concluded that personal information is available as of right only to the person to whom it relates except insofar as it is available by virtue of some other enactment the effect of which is preserved by section 52 of the Official Information Act 1982; and that by virtue of the provisions of the Electoral Act 1956 the only electoral roll information available in documentary form to the general public is that contained in the printed main and supplementary rolls for each electoral district.

(c) Compliance with the company’s request would require production in documentary form of material such as changes of address and new enrolments which is not available in documentary form to the general public under the provisions of the Electoral Act.

3. The advice on which this direction is based has been received from the Solicitor-General as to legal issues and from the Chief Registrar of Electors (being the Director-General of the Post Office) as to factual issues. The purport of the advice is as set out above.

Dated at Wellington this 25th day of October 1983
R. L. G. TALBOT, Postmaster-General.
J. K. McLAY, Minister of Justice.
