Annual canvass of electors
Annual canvass of electors 2024
By law the Electoral Registration Officer is required to carry out an annual canvass of electors from 1st July to 30th November each year.
We will be getting in touch with every household to check that the electoral register is up to date, and to identify any residents who should be registered but are currently missing.
The Electoral Registration Officer will issue a form or letter to all households containing the names currently on the register at that address. The communication will indicate if a response is required or not. Only respond if required to do so.

| Canvass Communication A (CCA) | Only for changes | 09 September 2024 |
| Canvass Communication B (CF) | Yes | 09 September 2024 |
| Canvass Form (if no response to CCB) | Yes | 11 October 2024 |
