Annual Canvass

The annual canvass is the process of updating the electoral register. Every year, we must ensure that our register is as complete and accurate as it should be. This process usually takes place between July and November.

By law, we must send a Household Enquiry Form to every residential property within Hertsmere. These forms may be different depending on the response we need from each property. As a result, your neighbours may receive different communications than you do.

Hertsmere Borough Council will be using different types of canvass communications;

text
email
posted enquiry form
telephone canvass
household visit
The best thing to do is to respond as soon as you can to avoid further canvass enquiries.

If you have a query or need further information, please contact the registration team by emailing elections@hertsmere.gov.uk or call 020 8207 7481
