Electoral register annual canvass

SODC is currently carrying out the electoral register annual canvass – that’s the requirement to contact residents each year to ensure they check that their details on the register are up to date.

It has already sent yellow letters to 28,753 households whose details SODC either doesn’t have, or knows are not up to date, asking them to update their information. Around 17,000 households have not responded and so SODC will have sent them a pink reminder on 29 August. Most households, whose details it does have, will shortly receive an email – this will ask them to visit householdresponse.com/southandvale to either confirm ‘no change’ to their record, or to make changes online, if required. More than 135,700 electors (62% of households across the districts) should receive the email.

Anyone who doesn’t respond to it (by 3 October), or who hasn’t registered an email address with SODC, will receive a green letter in October.

The email will go out from Monday 8 September from with the subject line “South & Vale District Councils – Annual Electoral Register Check” and will contain both council logos.
