Maintaining the Electoral Register

As part of our canvass and registration printing service, we support registration activity throughout the year.
Personal Identifier Refresh
Postal Vote Application Forms & Letters
Household Notification Letters (HNLs)

Personal Identifier Refresh

The Personal Identifier Refresh applies to all postal and proxy voters, who upon application provided a signature and date of birth. Once five years has passed, local authorities need to refresh the signature, according to the law.

The print and mail process of sending a form, followed by reminders, will be handled by an experienced account manager. Electoral teams will need only supply data and a form design if required (although we have templates in any case).

Postal Vote Application Forms & Letters

We can accommodate any size postal vote mailing in the UK and abroad. As well as the requirement for one of these forms to be sent out with the cancellation advice from the PI Refresh process, there are often times during the year when councils may need us to carry out bulk mailings. We can used council artwork or one of our own in-house templates.

Household Notification Letters (HNLs)

Household notification letters are an essential part of our canvass and registration printing package. Although not prescribed, HNLs are essential to ensure completeness and accuracy of your register.

The period leading up to the May polls gives local authorities the opportunity to encourage registrations from people not on the register and check for inaccuracies. We have our own HNL template which is based on the most recent template from the Electoral Commission and so includes all the information required to encourage a positive response. Local authorities can submit their own artwork if preferred.
