Important information about Electoral Services

The annual canvass is about to start which is a check on the accuracy and completeness of the electoral register. Derbyshire Dales District Council will be sending around 36,000 canvass letters to Derbyshire Dales households.

It is anticipated these will start to arrive after 18 July 2025.

If the canvass form that the household receives states that a response is required or if the information contained in the letter is incorrect or requires updating, they should respond as soon as possible.

Full instructions on how to respond can be found within the form.

If there are new electors in a household their names should be added to any response.

Households should remember to add the names of any 16 or 17 year old’s as they can and should register to vote (but they will not be able to vote until their 18th birthday).

If any households are unsure as to what to do or need any help completing their response they should contact the District Council by calling 01629 761335 or emailing electoral@derbyshiredales.gov.uk

If they do not receive a response to our initial canvass communication we have to send a reminder therefore a response to the initial communication would be appreciated.

Please get in touch with the ES if you need more information.
