NI Houses To Receive Electoral Forms

The Electoral Commission is to deliver voter registration forms to houses in Northern Ireland as part of a campaign to update its records.

Canvassers will be delivering voter registration forms over the next few weeks, while a promo campaign will include TV, radio, press, outdoor and digital advertising.

Séamus Magee, Head of the Electoral Commission in Northern Ireland, said:

"We want to encourage everyone to look out for the canvassers and their registration form, which you need to fill in and return by the 27 September deadline.

"Even if you think you are already registered to vote or your details haven't changed, you still need to complete and return the form. That way you can be sure you are right up to date and that you are able to vote."

Graham Shields, Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland, added: "I am grateful to the Commission for supporting our canvass through their campaign. It is important that people take a few minutes to complete their registration form to ensure that our electoral register is up to date."
