HOUSEHOLDS in Sedgemoor will soon be receiving a form regarding their details.

As part of Sedgemoor District Council’s annual voter registration canvass, residents will be asked to check whether the information that appears on the electoral register for those living at their address is correct.

The aim of the form is to ensure that the electoral register is up to date and to identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so.

Even if you recently voted at the recent EU Referendum, the council still need a response to the form.

Louise Potter, democratic and elections officer at Sedgemoor District Council said: "Anyone that wants to vote must be registered.

"To make sure you are able to have your say in any future elections, simply check the form when it arrives and return it as promptly as possible."

"If you’re not currently registered, we’ll send you information explaining how to do this."

You can also go online to apply to register at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

It’s important that anyone who has moved address recently looks out for the form and checks whether they are registered.

Any residents who have any questions can contact the elections team at Sedgemoor District Council by calling 0300 303 7804.
