Annual Canvass
Each year we write to every household to check whether we have the correct people registered to vote and to ask you to inform us of any changes.
As in previous years, we are using data and electronic communication, such as email and text messaging, to make the process simpler. This means you may receive a text, email or letter from us asking you to check who we have registered and tell us about any changes.
Email and text messages are due to be sent from the 13th September using the Government's GOV.UK Notify service (@notifications.service.gov.uk).
The quickest and simplest way to respond is online using the Elecreg.co.uk website and two part security code detailed on your canvass letter, email or text message.
From the 19th October until the 21st November, door-to-door canvassers will be visiting non-responding properties in the Lewes District and Eastbourne Borough areas to deliver the final reminder. All canvass staff will have official council ID badges. If no one is in when the canvasser visits, they will leave the final reminder form for the household to complete and return.
