Canvass forms issued

Every household in Orkney should either have received an annual canvass form or will be receiving one within the next few days.

Householders are asked to ensure that these forms are completed and returned as soon as possible.  Forms must also be completed and returned for vacant properties.

The forms are used to produce the Register of Electors.  If your name is not on the register you will not be able to vote in any elections and may also find it difficult to obtain credit or open a bank account.

Anyone with queries, or who has not received a form, is asked to contact the  Electoral Registration Office, 8 Broad Street, Kirkwall, KW15 1NX.
