Annual Household Canvass 2025

The annual canvass of electors takes place each year between July and November with a revised copy of the electoral register of the electoral register published on 1 December

The purpose of the canvass is to ensure the electoral register is accurate. We will contact you starting July 21, 2025, either by email or post, depending on our records. The communication will detail any required actions. 

If you are asked to respond, please respond online where possible. The website you will be asked to visit is www.registersecurely.com/rbk 

Security codes for your response will be included in our email or letter. Prompt responses help us avoid sending reminders or making property visits, saving council funds. 

Have you received an email from us?

We will be sending out emails on 21 July 2025. If you receive an email from us it will come from the following email address: rbk.electoral.services@notifications.service.gov.uk

If you receive an email please follow the instructions on the email to provide the required response.

You may need to wait for a form to arrive through the post before you can respond. The form will be addressed to ‘the resident’. The email you receive may ask you to follow a link to a third-party website to respond. This website is www.registersecurely.com/rbk

If you have received an email for an address at which you no longer live then please complete the form below: removal of a name from the electoral register, if you are no longer resident.

You should also make sure you are registered to vote at your new property - you can do this online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
