There are two ways to register. Either complete the Register of Electors form delivered to your property between August and November and your details will be added to the register when it is published annually on the 1 December. The information published is based on where you are resident on the 15 October. Forms for this annual canvass are sent out in August (although you will receive reminders if this is not returned) and you can either post back the completed form or if there are no changes to the pre-printed personal details you can confirm this by using the internet or telephone registration services the council provides at this time. The council also provides collection boxes in libraries and day centres for the return of these forms and the boxes are emptied weekly during September and until mid October.
Alternatively, if your name does not appear on the Register of Electors,when it is published in December, and you are resident at a household within the Spelthorne Borough Council area, you can complete an electoral registration form for the next monthly update. This procedure takes place every month (except for October to December, when you should check and amend the Register of Electors form which will be delivered to every property in the Borough during late August/early September time). This is ideal if you have missed the opportunity to register for December or have moved into your property after this time.
