When someone dies
If a member of your household has passed away use the Tell Us Once service (GOV.UK) and we will be notified.
Removing someone from the electoral register
If there is someone who is registered at your address but they no longer live there, let us know so we can update the electoral register. Return any post we have sent to them clearly marked as 'not at this address'.

The Open Register
The open register is an extract of the electoral register but is not used for elections. It can be bought by anyone and used for many purposes including confirming name and address details and direct marketing purposes. Removing your details from the open register does not affect your right to vote.
