West Oxfordshire District Council Launches Annual Voter Registration Canvass

West Oxfordshire District Council launched its annual electoral registration canvass to confirm the voter registration details of every household in the district. The initiative seeks to identify residents who have moved and ensure newly eligible voters are added to the register through instructions sent via post and email.

Council officials are specifically encouraging 16 and 17-year-olds to register in anticipation of government plans to lower the voting age to 16 before the next Parliamentary General election, which must take place by August 2029. To increase accessibility, the council is offering registration information in British Sign Language, audio, plain text, and easy read formats.
