Havering says the electoral register is updated at certain times of the year, generally on the first working day of every month, except in October and November. There’s also a separate annual canvass process that runs from June to November, with the revised electoral register published on the first working day of December.
| Update pattern | Timing |
|---|---|
| Regular register updates | Generally the first working day of every month, apart from October and November |
| Annual canvass period | June to November |
| Revised register published | First working day of December |
If you’re checking whether a recent change has been picked up, the monthly update timing is the key bit. The annual canvass is the main yearly refresh that leads to the December publication.
