RESIDENTS will soon be asked to help Copeland Council update its register of electors.
The annual canvass - where householders are sent a form and asked to confirm who lives at that address - will start on August 7.
Updating the register means everyone who wants to vote is able to do so, and being on the register can also help with obtaining financial services like mortgages or phone contracts.

TIME is running out for residents to comment on a number of Copeland's conservation areas.
Copeland Council is assessing some of its conservation areas in preparation for major investment on the borough - and wants to hear from the public.
