Colin Everett, Electoral Registration Officer at 天涯社区 said:
鈥淭he aim of the Annual Canvass is to ensure that the electoral register is up to date and to identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so.听
鈥淚t is important that people are able to vote in local, regional and national elections and are not disenfranchised because they are not registered.听 People should not assume that they are able to vote just because just because they are registered for other things such as Council Tax.鈥澨�
