Register of Electors - Annual Canvass - Use the WEB!

Postby Ship called Dignity » Fri Sep 02, 2005 10:26 am

Something we have been working on this year and thought as people who read this board use the web they may wish to make their return via the web this year. A regsitration form will be posted out soon and if there is NO CHANGE you can make your return by freephone or via the web. Please try! 8)

THE REGISTER OF ELECTORS
ANNUAL CANVASS


A Registration Form will be posted to every residential property in Argyll & Bute, East Dunbartonshire and West Dunbartonshire during the month of September, listing the registration details held by the Electoral Registration Officer.

Register by Freephone or by Internet

This year, residents will be given the opportunity to use FREEPHONE and INTERNET services to confirm their electoral roll details.

Details of how to do this will be on the Registration Form.

Both services will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, throughout the canvass period and can be used by households where the names on the electoral register remain UNCHANGED from the previous year.

Electors can also opt to remove their name from the edited version of the register used by mailing companies. The service also allows callers to request a Postal Vote application form.

It is hoped that these new, additional, convenient choices for making the return will be of particular benefit to the housebound, people living in rural areas and of course busy households wanting to save time. The introduction of these services is a further step forward in making registration more convenient for the general public.

Register by Post
If any CHANGE is required to the details appearing on the Registration Form, amendments should be made accordingly, and the form should be returned by POST in the pre-paid envelope provided.

David C Thomson
Electoral Registration Officer

A good idea. I hope it works out, as it should be more efficient (and cost-effective) than using postal returns.

Did our on the website this year too.

Nice to see the forms had gaelic this year as well as the other translations into punjabi/gujerati/swahili and whatever else they had on the back.

Cheers
Gary
