What is the annual canvass?
Each year the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) must conduct an annual canvass to ensure the Electoral Register is accurate and complete.
The 2025 Annual Canvass started in late July 2025 and the revised electoral register was published on 1 December 2025.
We have now finished work on the Annual Canvass for 2025. If you need to update your details on the electoral register, either as a result of moving house or a change to your name, you can do so via the online Government Portal
