Don't lose out on your right to vote

---

As part of County Durham's electoral register update, canvassers will be visiting households that have not yet responded to the annual request for information.

Earlier this year, the council sent letters to all homes in the county asking residents to confirm their voter information and inform us of any changes.

The council needs to know the details they hold are correct to ensure residents are included on the 2020 electoral register. This enables people to vote in local and national elections and can also improve an individual's credit rating.

From today (Monday 23 September) canvassers will be delivering final forms to households who have not replied. If the resident is in, canvassers will be able to assist with the completion of the form. Canvassers will all be wearing Durham County Council identification
badges, which should be visible at all times.
