Each year, we contact all local households to check the information on the electoral register is accurate and up to date - we check who is living at each property and who is eligible to vote. If you get an email from lichfielddistrictcouncil@householdresponse.com please be reassured it is genuine. We also issue letters by post.  Please follow the instructions provided to respond - thank you!

Find out more about the electoral register

Our reception and customer service lines, including live chat, will be closed for staff training on Thursday 14 August. Whilst we are closed, please WhatsApp us on 01543 308171 and we'll get back to you in the afternoon, or use our online single form.
