It’s to make sure the details for each address are correct and that you will be registered to vote when the next election takes place.
It’s important that you are registered to vote – it means you will have a voice if an election is called.
If you’re not registered your name will not be on the form – if you want to register the easiest way is online here and use the passwords issued with your form.

If you’ve moved homes recently you are asked to keep a special eye out for the form and check the details. Recent research shows that home movers are far less likely to be registered than those that have lived at the same address for a long time.
Across Great Britain, 94% of people who have been at their property for more than 16 years will be registered compared to 40% of people who have lived at an address for less than one year.
