Don't lose your vote – residents in Herefordshire urged to check voter registration details

Herefordshire households are being asked to confirm who is registered to vote.

Every year, by law, Herefordshire Council carry out a canvass of all properties in the county which is designed to maintain the accuracy of the electoral register. We contact every household to check whether we have the correct people registered to vote and to ask residents to tell us of any changes to the information we hold.

To make the annual canvass as efficient as possible, electoral registration data is matched against Department for Work and Pensions data, and where it has been possible to match these details, a response may not be required.

These data-matched households will receive a letter in the next few weeks. This letter will ask if the electoral register information is correct for the property and a response is required if:

·       any information on the letter is wrong

·       there are people eligible to register to vote who are not included on the letter

Residents but do not need to respond to this letter if there is no change to the information.

Where there are changes, residents must let us know by following the instructions on the letter.
