People across Pembrokeshire will be contacted by the council to make sure their details are right on the electoral register.

The annual canvass is key in reminding residents to validate their voter registration information, ensuring their eligibility to participate in future elections.

Despite two elections this year, councils are still required by law to carry out this canvass.

Pembrokeshire County Council uses this process to keep the electoral register up-to-date and identify individuals who are at risk of losing their opportunity to vote.

Particular attention is urged for recent home movers.

Most residents will have already received an email to confirm their details, and if not, a letter will be forthcoming within a week.

Emphasising the significance of the canvass, Will Bramble, electoral registration officer at the council, said: "The annual canvass is our way of making sure that the information on the electoral register for every address is accurate and up to date.

"To make sure you don’t lose your say at elections, simply follow the instructions sent to you."

To register to vote, visit the UK Government website.

Information is also available via Pembrokeshire County Council’s website and The Electoral Commission website.
