Make Sure You Are Registered to Vote

A canvass of all households takes place during the period August to November each year. This is your opportunity to ensure that your name and those persons living in your household are included on the electoral register - providing of course that they are eligible to vote. If your name does not appear on the register you will not be able to vote in the local elections in May next year.

If you live in Dundee, a canvass form will be sent to your home address around the end of August. The form will be addressed to the householder and will list all persons in the household who are currently on the register.

If the details on the form are mostly correct you will save the council money by registering using freephone, internet or text(sms) instead of posting back the paper form.

The phone numbers , security codes etc are listed on the form. Registering by any of the above means is far cheaper than the postage costs and staff time involved in processing a paper form and I would encourage you to use any of the above if at all possible.

If there are changes to the information you should make the changes on the form and send it back in the prepaid envelope.

Please respond as soon as possible as this will reduce the number of reminders we need to issue - again saving the council money.
