Every year we are required by law to contact all households to check who is eligible to register to vote. Residents will start to receive their annual canvass correspondence in August. We may contact you by email, post or personal visit. Please carefully read any correspondence we send to you.
The communication you receive will tell you if you do or do not need to respond.
You'll only have to respond if:
- you're told to do so
- you need to make any changes or additions to the information provided
If you are instructed to respond, but we do not receive a response, you may receive a personal visit from one of our canvassers asking to check the information we hold is correct, even if you have recently registered to vote.
Visit our register to vote area or the Electoral Commission website for information on registering to vote and voter information.
Please note:
- The forms are addressed to ‘The Resident’ and not to an individual.
- An eligible resident that needs to be added to a form will also need to register to vote. They can do this by going online at gov.uk/register-to-vote.
