Annual Electoral Canvass – Email Reminders

As part of our annual canvass of electors, an email communication has been sent to a number of households where we hold email addresses, asking for you to update us on eligible persons living in your home. We will shortly be sending follow up emails to those we have not yet heard from.

Our emails have been sent using a secure gov.uk messaging service, and as such are branded in much the same way as many Government communications. If you are unsure about the authenticity of an email, please contact our offices on 0141 562 1200 (EDC and WDC) or 01586 555300 (Argyll & Bute).
