Electoral Register: Don't lose your right to vote!

The forms for the 2010 electoral register have started to go out, and I received mine yesterday.

Make sure you return it as soon as you can! Don't lose your right to vote. Next year we definitely have local elections, and almost certainly have the AV referendum for a better electoral system for Westminster too.

You don't need to wait to return the form, and can respond to it by phone or on the web too. Details are on the form.

If you are reasonably sure you won't be moving before 15th October then please don't wait: get the response in now. I'm about to go downstairs and phone mine in.

If you haven't got a form by the end of September get in touch with the Electoral Registration team.

There is a detailed FAQ on the Council website.

If you weren't born in the UK the list of who is eligible to vote is quite complex, and if in doubt get in touch with the City Council's election team who are very helpful. (As always if there is a problem get in touch with the team).
