Topic : Electoral register - door to door checks no ID |
|
| steetonblue |
Just had a very pleasant man knock on my door telling me that I have not signed the electoral register and need to do this to vote (this, I know). My problem is, that genuine as he seemed and looked, he had no ID. Added to this, I know for a fact that I signed the register in August and got a letter of confirmation in September. I can't imagine what funny business he could have been up to (all he wanted was a signature) but surely the council must know to send people out with ID and not a tatty photocopy of a letter saying what he was doing...... I hate scaremongering and people moaning at the council for petty things but surely they're not helping their case by silly little oversights like this. |

This can't have been bona fide. I would suggest you report it to the police. |

there is no mention of anything on the councils website.It does say that from this year each individual person living at a property has to register but nothing about someone coming door to door.they would also not be doing this on a sunday afternoon surely.Report it, it sounds very dodgy.Did he call at your neighbours as well? |

I emailed the electoral roll people last night and received a reply this morning - there was indeed a canvasser in the area yesterday! They apologised for him not having ID - apparently he should have had! So mystery solved! |

I could appreciate that any canvassing done on a Sunday, would reach a higher target audience, given that more people would be about/available. I find its strange though that anyone canvasses on Sunday. |
