Solihull Council’s digital Annual Canvass campaign has started this week.
The Annual Canvass allows the Council to keep the electoral register up to date and encourage residents to change their details if they need to.
Residents who have previously registered an email address with the Electoral Services team will be emailed instructions with simple steps on how to ensure they can vote in future elections. The email will come from Electoral Services at Solihull Council - please note that it is not spam.
Those who receive an email will be asked to go online using the security codes provided in the email and complete the Annual Canvass questions. If answering online, residents have until Thursday 22 August to complete their submission.
Residents who don’t get an email or who don’t complete the Annual Canvass questions digitally will receive a letter in the post next month - they can add an email when filling out their details to complete the Canvass online next time.
The Annual Canvass is important as it helps the Council establish whether information held on the electoral register is complete and accurate. Residents must be on the electoral register to vote in elections, and it is also helpful to be on the register when applying for credit.
