We are contacting every property within Peterborough to confirm who is registered to vote at each address.
We require a response to this form even if there are no changes to report.
Every year we carry out an annual canvass of all residents in Peterborough. This is to make sure the electoral register is as accurate as possible. We are required to do this by law.
Each residential property receives a canvass communication form. It contains the details of all residents registered to vote at the property.
Following the annual canvass, we publish the revised electoral register.
