PLEASE DON’T LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!!

As someone who has spent many years on local doorsteps discussing forthcoming elections, I know only too well the frustration people have when you tell them they are unable to vote because they are not registered. The usual responses are: “But I pay my Council Tax” or “I send that form back last year”, neither of which make any difference unfortunately.

Registering to vote is really simple. If you haven’t ready received a form through the post you can download and fill in a form online from the About My Vote website.

Alternatively you can telephone the elections team on 01992 564411 and they can post or email you a copy. All you need to do is complete the form and return to it: Elections Team, Civic Offices, High Street, Epping, Essex, CM16 4BZ. The deadline for all registrations is Tuesday 20th April 2010.

If you want to have a say in the Parliamentary and District Council elections this year, all you have to do is complete the simple form!
