The consultation is being conducted jointly with the Scottish and Welsh Governments and will remain open until 30th November 2018.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The pilots have provided us with a strong basis from which to evaluate and mitigate any risks. In developing the model, we have worked closely with stakeholders in the electoral community including the Electoral Commission, Association of Electoral Administrators and the Scottish Assessors Association. Throughout, we have considered how best to support citizens with protected characteristics to ensure our policy proposal for the reform of the annual canvass supports their participation in our country\u2019s democratic events.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>We have engaged with organisations that represent their interests. This has included seeking the opinions of the Accessibility of Elections Working Group, whose membership includes leading charities, such as the Royal Mencap Society, RNIB and Scope. The proposals for the reform of the annual canvass were shared with this group on the 9th October.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Our proposals for canvass reform do not affect the ability of individuals to register at any time during the year.
