SEDGEMOOR District Council are appealing to local residents to return their voter registration forms. 

The council has said that it is an annual legal requirement for them to make sure that the details on the electoral register are correct for each person in every household in the district even if you do not wish to vote. 

Many residents have already returned their forms, but some are still outstanding. 

The council has added that the law says that they have to make individual personal visits to those properties who have not returned their forms. 

Electoral Services canvassers will be neighbourhoods during October and November to chase up any outstanding forms and ensure that all details are correct.

They will ask the householder to confirm the details held on the current register of Electors and if no one is home they will post a calling card, asking you to call Electoral Services direct.

All canvassers will have ID, so if you are unsure, please ask to see their ID.
