Residents across Fenland are being reminded to check their voter registration details or risk missing the chance to vote in future elections, with the annual canvass now underway.
The canvass, a legal requirement carried out each year by councils, ensures the electoral register is accurate and up to date. It also helps identify residents who are not yet registered to vote.
By confirming or updating their details, residents can make sure they remain eligible to vote in future elections and have their say on decisions that affect them.
The council will be contacting all residential properties in the district in a variety of ways including by email, post, phone and visiting properties.
Key dates for the 2025 annual canvass:
• Canvass emails sent from 4 July 2025 (residents who did not respond to their email will receive a letter)
• Initial canvass letters delivered from 26 July to 17 August 2025
• Reminder canvass letters delivered from 9 September 2025
• Canvasser visits to non-responding properties from 11 October to 9 November.
• The revised Register of Electors will be published on 1 December 2025
If you’re not currently registered to vote, your name will not appear in the messages sent by the Council.
The easiest way to register to vote is online via the Government website: www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
Recent home movers in particular are urged to check their registration details.
Not every household will need to respond to their canvass communication, but those that are required to do so are encouraged to as soon as possible to ensure that the process runs smoothly and to remove the need for reminders to be sent.
• For more information on the annual canvass and frequently asked questions, visit: www.fenland.gov.uk/AnnualCanvass.
Alternatively, email the council’s elections team at elections@fenland.gov.uk or phone 01354 654321.
The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local Government Reorganisation engagement survey is open from Thursday 19 June 2025 to Sunday 20 July 2025.

After many hurdles securing local land on which to plant a community orchard, but with many members keen to bring fruit growing and an added sense of community to the area, March Community Orchard Project did some outside the box thinking and came up with the FRONT GARDEN FRUIT project.
This is kind of like a community orchard, but spread across the town, in people’s own front gardens.
We provide a free tree, with stakes & guard, plant it for you and perform a tree health check. You provide a bit of front garden area on which to plant it. In future years, when (hopefully) you have more fruit than you know what to do with, you can opt in to be provided with a crate to leave near the footpath for passers-by.
You can also opt-in to be added to our Google pin map of trees dotted around the town so that it feels more like a cohesive community orchard.
Down the line we would love to organise community events like juice pressing, pie making and other fruit & garden related gatherings open to our FGF beneficiaries, local gardeners and the wider community. And we’d love to hear your ideas too!
If you’d like to be a part of the March Community Orchard Group we meet the last Wednesday of each month at 7:30 in the Wordsworth Room of March Library.
