Annual canvass
Every year we must contact all households in Southwark to update the electoral register. Find out what information we need and what you need to do.
The electoral register and Council Tax
Paying Council Tax does not add you to the electoral register. Not all people paying Council Tax are entitled to be on the electoral register, and not all people entitled to be registered are named on the Council Tax account.
The law requires each person to apply to register to vote.
If you want to change the way you vote
You can apply for a postal vote or apply for a proxy vote online.
If you wish to cancel an existing postal or proxy voting arrangement, you must do so in writing. Send an email to electoral.enquiries@southwark.gov.uk
You cannot cancel a postal or proxy application for someone else.
