Residents urged to check their voter registration details are up-to-date

Residents are being reminded not to lose their voice on decisions that affect them, by making sure their details are up-to-date on the electoral register.

Each year, the Royal Borough carries out an annual canvass of all households in the borough to check that the information on the register is accurate and to encourage any residents who are not yet registered to vote to go online to gov.uk/register-to-vote

The first round of letters have now been sent, with emails being sent out throughout November. The information provided will be used to update the electoral register for next year, which will be published on 31 January 2025.

People who have recently moved home are particularly encouraged to look out for the voter registration messages sent by the council, either via email or in the post, and to respond.

The Household response can be completed online at http://www.registersecurely.com/rbwm using the security codes on the documents. Paper forms can be requested via the Helpline telephone or email below.

Information on registering to vote is available on the Electoral Commission website at https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter

Residents who have any questions can contact the council’s registration helpline by calling 01628 683868 or email electoral.registration@rbwm.gov.uk
