Annual Canvass
Register you vote with the District Council
It’s that time of year for the annual Canvass and if you live within South Staffordshire you may have noticed it is already underway. The Canvass is a statutory exercise the District Council undertake each year to ensure everyone is registered to vote at the correct address. This keeps the electoral register up to date and accurate. Registering to vote is a legal requirement, even if there is no intention from an individual to vote in any election. The first set of forms were posted out on 19th August. Certain properties had three weeks to respond. If the District Council did not have any response, you would have been sent a reminder form. After a further three weeks and no reply, they will make personal contact via telephone call. To make sure you don’t lose your vote and say on decisions that affect you, please make sure to update your electoral registration details. Thank you.
