The 2025 annual canvass
The annual canvass makes sure that we can keep the electoral register accurate and up to date. It helps us to identify any residents who are not registered to vote so that they can be invited to register and to identify any people who need removing from the register.
From July 2025 we'll be sending out canvass forms and emails to residents across the borough, asking them to confirm the details for their address. Emails will be sent from the email address stockport@householdresponse.com. These emails can get caught in junk or spam filters.
The canvass forms and emails detail who is currently registered to vote in each household.
You must respond if:
- you need to make any changes or additions to the information provided
- the form or email instructs you to
You must read your letter or email to check whether you need to respond or not. If you need to make any changes, you must let us know using the response methods provided on the form or email. See the next page for more information on how to respond.
The canvass has to be carried out by law each year. By responding to the canvass as soon as possible, the process will run smoothly and there'll be no need for personal contact from a canvasser later in the year. If you receive an email, you can save us time and money by responding to the email and removing the need to print and post a paper form.
