Electoral Registration reminder

Electoral Registration reminders have now been sent to all properties in Orkney who have not yet responded.

Dennis Stevenson, Electoral Registration Officer for Orkney said: “If you receive a reminder, it is important that you respond to it to let us know that either there have been changes to the household, or that the details shown are correct. I would like to encourage householders to respond either online, by text or phone, or by returning the form by post. This form gives details of all the existing electors in each household and any new electors in the property need to be added to the response. All those resident, and those who will turn 16 during the next year, should also be included when completing the household form.”

With council elections taking place in Orkney in May 2022, this is an important opportunity for residents to make sure they can take part.

Anyone with any queries should contact the Electoral Registration Office on 01856 876222 or email ero@orkney.gov.uk.
