About the annual canvass

The annual canvass runs from July until 1 December each year. 

We’re required to approach all households within Medway to maintain a complete and accurate record of electors. 

Non-responding households will receive no less than 3 communication attempts. The communication attempts could be:

  • by post
  • by email
  • by phone
  • a visit from one of our canvassers.

If someone lives at your property who has recently turned 16 or moved into the property, they should be considered as part of your canvass response. Including someone in your canvass response does not automatically register them to vote.

You can register to vote online.

If you need a form to be posted to you, you can contact the office with your request.
