As part of the council’s annual voter registration canvass, households are being contacted by the electoral services team by email, form or letter.
Residents will be asked to check whether information on the electoral register for those living at their address is correct and to update any incorrect information.
Andy Lewis, chief executive of Southend-on-Sea City Council said: “The household canvass is part of ensuring we have up to date information to make sure you can vote in elections and have your say. Simply check your email, form or letter when it arrives, carefully read the instructions and respond promptly if you need to.
“If you have recently moved address it is important you look out for your communication and check whether you are registered at your new address.”
Residents can respond online, by text message, or by telephone. Full details of how to do this are included in the canvass communication. Emails will be sent to residents from electoral@southend.gov.uk
Any residents who have any questions can contact the electoral services by calling 01702 215010 or visiting www.southend.gov.uk/canvass
