Respond to household enquiry form
Residents in Lewisham have been urged to respond to the household enquiry form which asks them to check whether the information that appears on the electoral register for those living at their address is correct.
This form has been sent out as part of the borough’s annual voter registration canvass with the aims of ensuring that the electoral register is up to date – even if there are no changes to households – and to identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so.
It is particularly important that anyone who has moved address recently looks out for the form and checks whether they are registered to vote.
With Mayor of London and Local Assembly elections taking place in May 2016, this is an opportunity for Lewisham residents to make sure that when the elections take place they will easily be able to take part.
Barry Quirk, Chief Executive and Electoral Registration Officer at Lewisham Council, said: ‘Anyone that wants to vote must be registered. To make sure you are able to have your say at the elections next year, simply check the form and return it as promptly as possible. If you’re not currently registered, we’ll send you information explaining how to do this or you can just go online to apply to register at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote .”
Responding to the form is easy and takes just a couple of minutes online, by text or by phone. Any resident with queries or questions can visit www.lewisham.gov.uk/elections, or email [email protected] or call 020 8314 6086.
