Annual Canvass
Every year we contact every household in Birmingham to check that the details on the electoral register are correct.
How we will contact you
Some households will contacted by email first.
You may receive an email from birmingham.elections.office@notifications.service.gov.uk on behalf of Birmingham City Council. This is a genuine email.
The email asks you to check the details we hold for your household and either confirm or update them.
If we hold different email addresses for more than one person in the household, we may email each of those people separately.
Replying to the email is the quickest and easiest way to respond. Only one response is needed per household.
If your household does not receive an email
If no one in your household receives an email, we will send a letter by post.
You will still be able to respond online using the online response service.
