Households across South Kesteven are being advised not to miss out on the chance to vote – by making sure their electoral registration details are up to date.
South Kesteven District council is updating its electoral register to ensure that everyone who wants to have a voice in the next national or local elections can take part.
The Council will contact around 66,000 residential properties residents by email or by post, to ask people to check and update their details.
It is SKDC’s annual canvass, which helps identify residents not registered and encourage them to sign up to vote – and help shape how their area is run.
Karen Bradford, Electoral Registration Officer for South Kesteven, said: “We need to be sure we have the right details on the electoral register for every address, so it is important that residents look out for these messages.
“This is especially important for those who have recently moved house, as well as those about to, or who have recently turned 18.”
SKDC is required by law to conduct this annual canvass to make sure the electoral register is up to date.
The Council first makes contact by email where possible and if there is no response or we do not have an email address, a confirmation letter will be sent by post.
