Homemover mailing

Thank you for visiting our website to find out more information about why you received our voter registration pack.

Why do you send out this mailing?

When you change address, you need to register again at your new address. Even if you are paying council tax at your new address, you are not automatically registered to vote. Unless you inform your local electoral registration office that you’ve moved, you may lose your chance to vote in future elections.

With so many things to think about when you move house, it’s easy to forget to re-register at your new address. Every year, we mail registration packs to people we believe have moved home – just to remind them to re-register.

Where did you get my details from?

We get people’s names and addresses from an organisation called Experian Ltd. Experian’s mailing list is compiled from a number of different sources such as information in the public domain, consumer surveys, and other compliant third party data sources.

Experian collects and manages UK consumer data entirely in accordance with the Data Protection Act and other best practice guidelines. If you require further information on where your data has been sourced from then please contact Experian who will be happy to help:

I haven’t moved home

Even if you haven’t recently moved, if you have received this mailing, you may not be registered to vote at your current address. To make sure you are, complete and return the form.

I have a question that’s not covered on this website

If you have a question that we haven’t answered here, please email us at info@electoralcommission.org.uk with 'Homemover mailing' in the subject line.
