Preparing for data matching

Preparing for data matching

  • preparing your register for data matching, ensuring that it is as up to date as possible to help increase the number of successful matches returned as part of your results
  • booking the date for your national data match and confirming when it will take place and when the results will be received 
  • establishing which individuals or groups of data will be excluded from the data match (for example, special category electors)
  • preparing for any local data matching, including identifying what data sets you will use and when you will carry out the matching for each of these sets
  • establishing when and how you will analyse all data matching results and determine which canvass route households will be allocated to 
  • ensuring flexibility in your plans, when and how you will revise them if the outcomes of data matching are not as you expected  
  • preparing an audit trail of any actions and decisions taken which relate to changing a route allocation from one route to another based on data matching results
