The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is reminding people to ensure their voter registration details are current.
The council conducts an annual canvass of all households to verify the register's accuracy and encourage unregistered residents to register online.
The first batch of letters has been dispatched, with emails following throughout November.
The information gathered will be used to update the electoral register for the coming year, scheduled for publication on January 31, 2025.
Residents who have recently moved home are especially encouraged to be vigilant for voter registration messages sent by the council, either via email or post, and to respond accordingly.
The household response can be completed online using the security codes provided in the documents.
Alternatively, paper forms can be requested via the helpline.
Information on voter registration is available on the Electoral Commission website.
The council stresses that keeping registration details up-to-date ensures residents have a say in decisions that affect them, particularly in the run-up to the publication of the revised register in January.
This initiative is part of the council's effort to ensure all eligible residents are able to participate in the democratic process, especially those who may have changed address recently.
Residents who have any questions can contact the council’s registration helpline.
