Annual Canvass

Every summer, households will receive a canvass form showing who is listed on the Electoral Register at your address.  

Please check your form carefully as you must respond if required.  

You can add a new eligible person by filling in their details or remove someone by crossing them out.   

Please note: if there is a new eligible person in your household, they will need to register to vote separately. 

If you would prefer to receive your canvass via email in the future, please indicate when you return your paper form.    

It is compulsory to respond if you need to. Failure could lead to a court appearance, a fine of up to £1,000 and a criminal record.  

The open register is extracted from the electoral register. To opt out of the open register, contact voting@torfaen.gov.uk or call 01495 762200.
