The way you register to vote is changing:

It is probably right that we are now registered as individuals and it is not up to the 'head of the household' to be responsible for registering us.
However, the letter I have received states that 'You don't need to do anything else' so many people will believe that they need do nothing more.
However, read your letter carefully when it arrives. If you had chosen previously for your details NOT to be available to third parties for whatever purpose, this request may now have been disregarded. Our County Council has put our names on an Open Register 'available to be bought by any person, company or organisation' and we will have to request to have our names put on the Electoral Register only. This was changed without our permission and we now have to contact the County Council to get this changed back again.
