Internet and Telephone Registration during the Annual Canvass

Electoral registration forms will be delivered to every home in the Eastleigh Borough towards the end of August each year. (See note on the Annual Canvass page relating to 2012 registration forms).  The information provided from this annual canvass of all the households will form the basis of the new Electoral Register, which will be published on 1 December every year. As in previous years, residents of Eastleigh Borough will be able to use a FREEPHONE ** or INTERNET service to confirm their electoral details.

Telephone

Eastleigh Borough Council is offering those households whose electoral details have remained unchanged, an easier way to confirm their registration. By simply dialling a FREEPHONE ** number (0800 197 7687), and then keying in the special two-part security code printed on the registration form, the caller is prompted to confirm the household details. Success of the telephone registration is confirmed with an advice of completion of the call. There is no need to return the form to the council; the voters within the household will be re-registered automatically.

The service is a fully automated touch tone system that will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the canvass period (August to November). By using the FREEPHONE ** service existing household registrations are immediate.  Re-registering could not be easier.

** Please note: some mobile phone providers may charge for the FREEPHONE service

Internet

We also provide an INTERNET service, and would encourage any households whose electoral details have remained unchanged and who has internet access to confirm their details this way. The web site address is: www.registerbyinternet.com/eastleigh this service will only be available until November.

If any households have not received their registration form by late September they should contact the Electoral Registration Office on 023 8068 8110 / 8106.
