Local list of those to be saved in speech on revolution (9,4)
I believe the answer is:
electoral roll
'local list of those to' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'saved in speech on revolution' is the wordplay.
'saved' becomes 'elect' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in speech' becomes 'oral' (oral means relating to speech).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'revolution' becomes 'roll' (synonyms).
'elect'+'oral'+'roll'='ELECTORAL ROLL'
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for electoral roll that I've seen before include "List of people" , "Voting list" , "List of eligible voters" , "List of those eligible to vote" .)
