Derbyshire Dales District Council

The annual canvass is about to start which is a check on the accuracy and completeness of the electoral register.

DDDC will be sending around 36,000 canvass letters to Derbyshire Dales households.
It is anticipated these will start to arrive after 18 July 2025.
If the canvass form that your household receives states that a response is required or if the information contained in the letter is incorrect or requires updating you should respond as soon as possible.
Full instructions on how to respond can be found within the form.
If there are new electors in a household their names should be added to any response.
Households should remember to add the names of any 16 or 17 year old’s as they can and should register to vote (but they will not be able to vote until their 18th birthday).
If any households are unsure as to what to do or need any help completing their response they should contact the District Council by calling 01629 761335 or emailing electoral@derbyshiredales.gov.uk
If DDDC do not receive a response to their initial canvass communication they have to send a reminder, therefore they would appreciate a response to the initial communication.

DDDC have collaborated with Jump to launch a sustainability engagement programme to encourage Derbyshire Dales residents to adopt greener habits. Developed with support from Midlands Net Zero Hub and funded by Innovate UK, Green Rewards incentivises sustainable behaviours by awarding points to residents who log their actions, with monthly prizes for the members that earn the most points. The online platform also contains a Green Home Guide e-learning tool; an interactive digital house where members can earn points for clicking through rooms to discover practical sustainability tips, such as insulation guidance and water-saving habits.
