Annual Canvass letters arrive this week...

If you live in Coventry, you may receive a letter, if you have not already replied to an email to check who is eligible to register to vote at your property.

There are two types of messages that residents might receive by letter:

Type 1 – This letter is where we have used national and local data to validate the information we hold. If the information detailed in the letter is correct, residents do not need to do anything, however, if the information is not correct they must respond to update the details, this can be done at http://www.coventry.gov.uk/canvass and use the security codes contained in the letter to log on and update the information.

Type 2 – This letter is used where we were unable to validate information we hold, against the national and local data. A response must be submitted by residents for this form even if the information is correct. This can be done by going to http://www.coventry.gov.uk/canvass and use the security codes contained in the letter to log on and either confirm or update the information.

If the information is correct then an alternative way to respond is by:

  • calling 0800 197 9871 and following the instructions, or
  • texting NO CHANGE followed by their security codes to 80212, or
  • completing and returning the form using the Freepost envelope provided.
It's important that residents who receive the type 2 form respond as soon as possible, this will reduce costs as we will not need to send reminders or send a canvasser to the property.
