NFI council tax timetable for 2013/14
Following the change in registration arrangements, which the Electoral Commission have imposed in preparation for the move to individual registration, the date the new electoral register is due to be published is 17 February 2014 in England and 10th March 2014 for Scotland and Wales.
This is over two months after the traditional publication date, which would normally delay our matches by an equivalent period; therefore we will be using our new secure NFI Flexible Matching Service (FMS) website for this exercise. The FMS will enable us to release your matches within a week of your data being submitted instead of having to wait for a bulk release when all councils have submitted their data.
