Don’t lose your vote: Residents are urged to examine their family voter particulars | Newsroom

Bath and North East Somerset residents are being urged to check their electoral registration details in a letter or email they will receive from the council starting from next week (Sep 1).

The letters and emails are part of the annual canvass, which enables the council to keep the electoral register up to date. The council will directly contact all households between now and November.

Households are being asked to follow step-by-step instructions to check the information held by the council is correct, so that everyone who has the right to vote in any upcoming elections can have their say.

Will Godfrey, Electoral Registration Officer at Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “It’s really important that everyone who is eligible to vote is able to do so. Please keep an eye out for an email or a letter from the council in the next few weeks. The annual canvass is our way of making sure that the information on the electoral register for every address is accurate and up to date. To make sure you don’t lose your say at upcoming elections, simply follow the instructions sent to you.”
