Annual canvass exercise in South Derbyshire for Register Of Electors.
The Council is contacting you to advise that we will shortly be carrying out a series personal visits (door-knocking) in connection with the ongoing annual canvass exercise in South Derbyshire for Register Of Electors.
This activity may generate calls or enquiries to your organisation, especially from vulnerable residents, who may be concerned as to whether this is a genuine campaign or whether the canvassing staff are legitimate visitors.
The personal contact stage will commence on 2nd October 2024 and Canvassing Officers employed by South Derbyshire District Council will visit approximately 4000 – 5000 addresses across the district between the hours of 09:00 and 19:00 (on any day including weekends), to request details of eligible electors in the household and obtain a signed canvass form. This exercise is expected to be concluded by mid-November.
All our canvassing staff will be wearing photographic identity specific to their role as personal canvassers and they should be carrying S.D.D.C branded document cases.
For further information, please contact the Electoral Services Team using the details below.
(This information is being sent to Derbyshire Police, Careline, SDDC Customer Services, Parish Council Clerks.)
If you are aware of any other organisations that might benefit from receiving this message, please forward.
Kind regards
Elections
