Does being on the electoral roll improve your credit score?

• Registering to vote can improve your credit score, but it doesn’t actually affect your score too much, and will only boost your score after you have been registered for some time (several years in some cases).

  The advantage of registering to vote at your current address is that it can help lenders searching your report quickly verify your identity and residency.

  It is becoming ever more important to be on the electoral roll (voters roll) as some companies – store cards in particular – refuse applications if you are not registered.
