Annual canvass

Each year we send out a canvass letter to all the households in Bracknell Forest so that we can collect information about who needs to be added or removed from the Register of Electors.

You must respond to this letter, even if the details in it are correct. If no one is currently registered, the form will be blank.

The quickest and easiest way to respond is online and it will take less than 5 minutes to fill in. Over 60% of residents responded online last year. Replying online allows the council to save money and put it towards the running of other local services.

Details are correct

If all the details are correct, you must now confirm this to us by using the following options (you will need the security codes at the bottom of your letter):

• fill in the form online
• call 0800 197 9871 (freephone)
• text 80212 (standard charges apply)

Details need to be changed

If any details need to be changed or someone needs to be added or removed (including anyone now over 16 years old) you need to tell us using the household update service online form. Please note you will need the security codes at the bottom of your letter.

Register to vote

If you add someone in your reply to the annual canvass, they must fill in the registration process on GOV.UK.

Further details

If you are unable to use the options above please fill in the form and post it back in the envelope provided.

Data protection

We will only use the information you give us for electoral purposes. We will look after your personal information securely and follow data protection legislation including GDPR. We will not give your personal information out to anyone or any organisation unless we have to by law.
