Running electoral registration - Scotland

What resources are needed to manage household notification letter activity?

What resources are needed to manage household notification letter activity? 

You will need the resource to:

  • process any new registrations resulting from the write-out 
  • conduct registration reviews or seek a second piece of evidence where required to delete electors who are no longer resident at a particular address
  • deal with any enquiries from electors as a consequence of the letter

You will also need to decide on the practical arrangements for carrying out the activity and what the cost and additional resource implications will be. For example, will you print the letters in-house or use an external supplier? Will you use canvassers to deliver the letters, or use a postal service?
