Registering to vote
In order to be able to vote you must be on the electoral register. The electoral register is compiled as at the 15 October each year. If you have moved since that date and have re registered at your new address you will be registered at that new property instead.
All eligible electors will be sent a poll card. If you are unsure if you are registered to vote please contact the helpline on 01454 863030.
The deadline for applications to vote at these elections is 5pm on the 14th April 2011. However, you are advised to make sure you are registered as early as possible.
An application to register to vote can be downloaded from the read more section.
