Every year, we check the electoral register is up to date so that everyone who has the right to vote in upcoming elections can have their say.
Between July and October each year, households in Worcester will receive a letter asking if the details on the electoral register are correct.
Please read the letter carefully and respond if required; some letters will only need you to let us know of any changes, and some forms will need you to confirm whether the information is correct.
The quickest way to respond is by going to the household response website - you will need the security codes printed on your forms to use this website. Please note that this website is only open during the canvass period.
Alternatively, you can post the letter back to us with any written changes or use the telephone or text numbers provided on the letter.
If we do not receive a response from the household by the deadline written on the letter you may receive a reminder telephone call, email or knock on your door from the Electoral Services Team. If you are at all unsure if these communications are genuine,
Now is the time to get prepared and ensure you are on the Electoral Register. Don't lose your right to Vote!
If you're not on the Electoral Register, you cannot vote. So if you have recently moved house, are about to become 18, or have never registered, you should register now. You can register online at the gov.uk website or let us have your name and address so we can send you a form in the post.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to supply your national insurance number and date of birth during this process.
For further details about the register can be found on our Electoral Register page.
If you are already registered to vote and need information about voting at an election, look for the dedicated page that will appear in this section when an election is called.
If you are a candidate or agent at an election, or considering standing at one, please visit the information for candidates page.
If you want to know more about having your vote sent to you by post at election time, or appointing someone to vote on your behalf, please visit our Electoral Register page.
Postal voters are now required to renew their postal vote application every three years.
The quickest and easiest way to renew is online at GOV.UK - Apply Postal Vote
The Elections Act 2022 reduced the lifetime of a postal vote to three years and removed the ability to renew one, so voters must now make a new application if they wish to keep voting by post.
A postal vote application lasts until the third 31 January following the approval of your application.
For anyone who was already a postal voter when this law came into effect, your postal vote will expire on 31 January 2026.
Each year we will contact all affected postal voters by post, email, and phone to ask them to re-apply for their postal vote ahead of the expiry deadline.
If you are registered as an overseas elector, you may receive an email from us during July 2026.
The arrangements for overseas voting registration have recently changed. Previously you needed to renew your registration one year on from the date that you applied. Under the new arrangements you have to renew your registrations every three years, with all renewals due between July and November.
If your three-year renewal is approaching, we will contact you by email in July. You can renew via the gov.uk website but will need your individual passcode, which will be included in the email.
If you are also a postal or proxy voter, you will need to reapply for these during the same period. We will contact you separately about this.
If you do not renew your registration by 1 November your details will be removed from the register.
If you are at all unsure whether the email you have received is genuine, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this webpage.
