Look out for an email about the Annual Canvass

Released:

As part of its Annual Canvass campaign, Solihull Council will be sending emails to residents to check who is eligible to register to vote at each household.

From Monday 12 July people will receive an email with several simple steps to follow. It is important that residents take action, as they may risk not being able to vote next year.

The email will be sent to people who have previously registered an email address with the Council’s Electoral Services team and by completing the questions online will save time and money.  Residents will be asked to visit www.householdresponse.com/solihull and use the security codes contained in the email.  

For those who do not receive the email, they will receive a letter in the post later in August with instructions to go online and complete the Annual Canvass questions.

The Annual Canvass is a process that takes places every year to check who is eligible to register to vote at each household. If people’s circumstances have changed, they must inform the Council’s Electoral Services team so that the Electoral Register (a list of everyone’s name and address who is registered to vote) is kept up to date.
