Last chance to register to vote
Wyre Forest District Council is asking residents to make sure
that they are on the electoral register and not to miss the
deadline for registering to vote or to apply for a postal vote.
Ian Miller, Chief Executive and Returning Officer for Wyre
Forest explained,
"This is your last chance to register to vote or apply for a
postal vote before the forthcoming elections. If you are not
already on the electoral register, you need to apply by Tuesday
20th April or you won't be able to vote in the District
and General Elections on 6th May. If you want a
postal vote we also need to have received your application by no
later than 5pm on 20th April. Wyre Forest District
Council is keen to ensure that no one misses their opportunity to
vote. If you have any doubt that that you are on the register, it's
important to check - particularly if you have moved house in the
last 12 months."
Registering to vote takes only a few minutes. You can print off
a form from the website of the independent elections watchdog,
the Electoral Commission. You can also email Wyre Forest
District Council's election
team or by telephone on 01562 732739.
Date of issue - 14th April 2010
