A note from your Clerk – Electoral Registration

Hello, I’ve received information from West Suffolk about this year’s canvass, see below:

As part of our approach to encouraging voter registration, we will be undertaking personal visits at properties where a resident has not responded to an ‘invitation to register’ (ITR) form and the subsequent reminder forms that followed. We will be undertaking the personal visits between 7 February and 8 March and the canvasser will support the resident to complete their voter registration. The canvasser will always wear and show their official identification and will visit the property once to request a response and will deliver a calling card, which is on pink card so that it’s clearly visible, if there’s no answer. The attached slides provide more information regarding the approach to canvassing ITRs.

You can find out more about electoral registration on West Suffolk’s website.
