Normally revised electoral registers are published on 1 December and  updated on a monthly basis up to the following September.

In 2019 we piloted additional updates to the register for 1 October and 1 November.

We postponed publication of the 1 December 2019 revised registers to 1 February 2020.  This postponement was made due to by-elections being held during the annual household canvass period and ensured that the preparations for the General Election on 12 December 2019 were not interrupted with publication of a revised register immediately before the election.

Since the pilot in 2019 we now intend to update our registers on a monthly basis throughout the year.

The undernoted is the schedule for routine monthly updates during 2021.  There will however be additional updates carried out ahead of the Scottish Parliament election that is scheduled to take place on 6 May 2021.  We will advise on deadlines as they arise through our News items.
