Annual canvass

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. We publish a new register on 1 December each year.

We’ll contact you by:

  • post
  • email
  • phone

You only need to respond to the canvass communication if the form you receive tells you:

  • a response is required
  • you need to make changes about your details.

Any emails from us will come from no-reply@elecreg.co.uk.

How to respond

You can respond by:

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.

Register to vote online.

If you do not respond

If we have not received a response, you may receive a letter in the post or a visit from a canvasser.

Canvassers will be visiting properties across Medway from the middle of August until 24 November to confirm details of those who reside at the property.

Our canvassers all carry photo ID.
