Annual Canvass to begin from 4 July

Released:

Solihull Council’s digital Annual Canvass campaign will commence on Monday 4 July.

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 next year. 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.

Residents who don’t get an email will receive a letter in the post later in August – they can add an email address when filling out their details to complete the canvass electronically 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.
