The Current Status of This Year's Annual Canvass
Has your electoral roll information been included in the 2018 annual canvass?

In addition to providing the ability to vote, being registered on the

vital importance when it comes to your credit rating and how you'll be assessed. An Electoral Roll listing is often considered 'the hook on which all other data hangs' and therefore plays a key role in establishing a strong credit file.
Electoral Roll - The Annual Canvass 2016

I doubt that I’m the only person to feel that the news surrounding the EU Referendum is overwhelming, confusing and more than a little biased.

Electoral Register sees decrease of nearly one million voters
The Electoral Commission have released figures detailing a fall of 920,000 registrations in the past year. The 2% reduction in the voter registration occurred between March and December 2014, which critics have blamed on the ways in which people are now able to register, as old systems have either been restricted or replaced entirely.
Electoral roll annual canvass is underway
It’s that time of year again (and no, I’m not talking about Christmas) - the Electoral Roll Annual Canvass is underway. Whilst it can take up to three months for electoral roll listings to be reflected by the credit referencing agencies at any other time of the year, during the latter part of each year it can take longer to show this information on your credit report, due to the Annual Canvass.
