Pendle residents urged to check voter registration details
Published Tuesday, 5th August 2025
Residents are being asked to look out for a form from Pendle Borough Council asking whether your details on the electoral register are correct.
Known as the annual canvass, this step ensures that the Council can keep the electoral register up to date. 
It also means it can identify any residents who are not registered to vote so that they don’t miss out on having their say on who represents them.
Andrea Mullin, Elections and Registration Manager for Pendle Borough Council, said: “It’s so important that everyone looks out for the form which is being sent out to all homes across the borough via email or posted through their letterbox.
“If you’ve moved recently, it’s particularly important that you check whether you’re registered at your new home.”
Residents are asked to follow the instructions which are on the form.
If you’re not registered to vote the quickest and easiest way to do this is online – www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

The annual canvass is a statutory duty carried out by all councils across the country.
