Don't Lose Your Right to Vote

Earlier this morning I received an email with the latest media release from the media team at the council informing me that Southend Council is about to commence its annual canvass which means that now is the time to act to make sure you are registered to vote.

Canvass forms are sent out to every household in the borough by law to ensure that the Register of Electors contains the details of all residents who are eligible to vote. Residents will be receiving their forms from Monday 18th June.

If you are happy with all the details contained on the form then you can confirm them using the free and secure internet or telephone service. You will find your unique reference number on the top right hand side of the form and either method also allows you to request an application to vote by post if you wish.

If any details on the form require amending then the form with the amended details need to be sent back by post using the envelope provided.

Registering now will enable you to be able to vote in the Essex Police & Crime Commissioner elections on Thursday 15th November. Nicholas Alston has been selected as the Conservative candidate
