If you live in Frome, you should have received one of these forms from Mendip District Council. All households need to fill in this form, whether you are already on the electoral role or not. Anyone over the age of 16 living at your address must be included. As it states on the form it’s important you return it as it is a legal requirement and you could be fined if you don’t. Even if your details are up to date, you still need to confirm.
If you are not registered to vote at your address, you still need to do this seperately at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote to be eligible.
So, what are your options? Use any option to confirm your details, to change them use option 1 or 2.Option 1 – Fill it in and send it back!
Is your internet connection questionable? Do you find automated telephone conversations a bit one-sided? Fear not! All you need is a pen, a postbox and the envelope provided, as it’s free-post you don’t even need a stamp. If the details are correct just sign, date and send. If they’re not you can change them this way too, cross out the name of someone who has moved out and add people on page three. Sign, date and send.Option 2 – Confirm/change details online.
