Every year, we are required by law to conduct a review of electoral registration. This is to make sure the electoral register is as accurate as possible.
We contact all residential properties in the area during the months between August and November to check who’s eligible to register to vote.
You may receive either an email or letter from us. Read it carefully as you may be required to respond.
Please read the information on your email or letter carefully:
It’s quicker to respond online or through text message. To do this, you’ll need your unique two-part security code contained in the email or printed on the letter.
If you need to respond, you can do so:
If you are required to respond and you fail to reply, we will send you a reminder.
If you have already responded online or by phone, you do not need to return the form.
Canvassers visit properties where a form has not been returned.
No matter how you respond, if you add anyone’s name to your property in your reply this will not register them to vote.
This is for information purposes only. You are only confirming the names of those at your property who should be on the electoral register.
If you:
Your name will not appear on the form sent to the property if you’re a special category elector, for example an overseas or service voter.
The Electoral Register is not published during the months of September to November during the annual canvass.
The revised register will be published on 1 December each year. This is a statutory requirement.
If you have any questions about the form or your electoral registration, you can get in contact with us.
