Walsall Council is urging residents across the borough to check their voter registration details as part of the 2025 Annual Canvass.

The council is contacting households across the borough over the next few weeks to ensure the Electoral Register is accurate and up to date. The Annual Canvass helps identify who is eligible to vote and ensures no one misses out on having their say.
“ From Monday 28 July, we are sending out letters to Walsall residents and asking them to confirm or update the voter registration information that we hold for their address. We’re asking residents to check all the details on the Annual Canvass form are correct. It only takes a few minutes to respond, and it means you’re registered to vote. “
People who have recently moved house in particular are encouraged to double-check their details, as research by the Electoral Commission shows they are less likely to be registered than longer-term residents. In Great Britain, 92% of people who have lived in their home for 16 years are registered, compared with just 36% of those who have lived at an address for less than a year.
