Annual canvass

Electoral Registration Officers must by law issue a canvass communication form to all properties within their area from 1st July - 30th November each year; this process is known as the ‘annual canvass’. There are however changes this year.

If you have received a CCA-E Form (this will be displayed on the bottom left of the form) you only need to respond if there are any changes in your household. Where there is no change; you do not need to respond.
