Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Under section 10 of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (as substituted by Schedule 1 to the Representation of the People Act 2000) each registration officer is required to conduct an annual canvass (by reference to residence on 15th October in that year) in his registration area to ascertain the persons who are entitled to be or remain registered as parliamentary or local government electors in that area. These Regulations specify a revised form for the purposes of that canvass, in order to make it easier for electors to use.
In addition, regulation 4 and Part 2 of the Schedule prescribe a new form of words for use on the registration form provided by registration officers for those who register at times other than during the annual canvass period.
The Regulations revoke the provisions of the Representation of the People (Form of Canvass) (England and Wales) Regulations 2004, which had previously prescribed the form of canvass and the form of words to be included with the canvass form about the two versions of the register.
