Annual canvass – don't lose your voice at future elections

Date Added: 02/08/2021

Canvass letters are dropping through the letterboxes of homes across Central Bedfordshire as part of this year's canvass in order to update the electoral register.

The annual canvass, which this year takes place between July and November, allows the council to capture information that ensures that everyone who is eligible to vote, gets to have their say when it comes to polling day. The council is required to do this every year by law so that we can ensure that our records are up-to-date when the Electoral Register is published on 1 December.

If you responded to your email after 23 July, you may still receive a letter as the data had been sent to the printer after that date.

Please follow the instructions on the letter you receive on how to respond. If you have any queries please contact us on 0300 300 8008 or email [email protected] or visit our website for more information www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/canvass

Residents are being urged to respond by 21 August to save sending out reminders or sending a canvasser to make a personal visit.

As well as being your ticket to vote, being on the electoral register is important for other reasons too. Credit reference agencies use the electoral register to confirm your details, so if you're not on there you could miss out on getting loans amongst other things.

Adding a name at canvass does not automatically register someone to vote. The next step is to register. You can do this online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
