Some Councils find it useful to carry out post canvass campaigns by telephone to ascertain why non respondents have failed to respond to the request for Electoral Register information and also to update the Register even though the 1 December update deadline may have been missed.

The post canvass campaign can be carried out at any time of the year but is particularly effective in the Summer Months prior to the annual update.
