The annual canvass of electors is underway, don’t ignore the letter dropping through your letterbox.
The 2024 annual canvass of electors starts in Epping Forest district with letters going out in the post on Friday 6 September 2024.
Vote in future elections
It is essential you are registered to vote as it can affect your ability to get a mortgage, loan or even a mobile phone contract. It will also affect your ability to vote in future elections.
By law, we must carry out an annual canvass across the Epping Forest district to check that the information on the electoral register is correct and up to date.
The envelope dropping through letterboxes will be addressed to The Residents with instructions on the outside about what you need to do.
Respond online
If you have access to the internet, landline or a mobile phone then please respond online, by phone or by text as soon as possible and by 16 September at the latest.
- Properties receiving a white letter only need to respond if any of the information is incorrect or you need to delete, amend or add names. Just follow the instructions on the letter
- Properties receiving a yellow letter must respond, even if there are no changes to the details. Just follow the instructions on the letter. You will need your 2-part security code which you’ll find on the front of your letter if you are responding using any of the automated response options available
