Make sure you are able to have your say at local and General elections. If you are not currently registered to vote you can do it at any time by contacting your local council.

Anyone can now vote by post, simply by signing a form from the council indicating that you wish to. The process is safe and secure, and of benefit to anyone who may be unable to get to their polling station on election day for whatever reason.
