The annual canvass

We update the electoral register every year to confirm who is eligible to vote. We do this through the annual canvass.

We contact all households in the region by letter or email. We start sending letters and emails from August.

You need to let us know about any new residents at your property. In addition to responding to the annual canvass, new residents will also need to register to vote, so we can add them to the register. 

How we will contact you

Where we hold an email address for a household, we will email the canvass communication in order to minimise postage costs. If we do not have an email address, we will send a paper form. 

Some households may receive more than one email.

All emails require a response. Some paper forms do not so please follow the instructions given.

How to respond

You can respond to your household form either online or by post.

Online form

You can respond online to confirm all the details on the household form are correct or to make any changes, such as adding or removing people or making alterations to the information.

To access your household form you must enter the six digit security code (part 1), the five digit security code (part 2) and the property postcode as printed on your letter.
