If a householder does not complete the form, a fine of £1000 may have to be paid. The same applies if the householder gives false information or deliberately leaves something out.

I did think it wasn't a choice thing and a fee was charged

I was a bit of a political activist in a former life, and the councils should have updated all their electoral roll details by December 1, If I remember rightly the Govt. brought the full blown electoral roll completion date forward from February, to December. Not sure why?

So if people haven't registered with their council by now they won't be on the electoral roll this year. I wonder if there are now more people unregistered cos they can't stand the UK's rubbish politicians, the electoral commission said the figure stood at about 3 million or so, It'd be interesting to see how many are unregistered now!
