SEDGEMOOR residents are being reminded to fill in their Voter Registration Forms.

It is an annual legal requirement that Sedgemoor District Council have to make sure that the details on the electoral register are correct for each person in every household; even if you have told us you do not wish to vote.

A spokesman for SDC said: "Many residents have returned their forms, but some are still outstanding.

"The law says that we have to make individual personal visits to those properties who have not returned their forms.

"That’s why you will be seeing Electoral Services canvassers in your neighbourhood during October and November."

The canvassers will ask the householder to confirm the details held on the current Register of Electors and if no one is home they will post a calling card, asking you to call Electoral Services direct.

The SDC spokesman added: "This is a costly way of collecting your details, so do not delay and return your form as soon as possible.

"All canvassers will have ID, so if you are unsure, please ask to see their ID."
