May I remind readers to keep an eye out for the electoral

registration forms which local authorities are currently sending

out to households?

With a General Election coming, now is the time to make sure that

you complete the form. Remember - you can't vote if you're not on

the register, even if you do pay council tax, or have voted

before.

It's also worth thinking about whether you can get to a polling

station to vote in person, or whether to apply in advance for a

postal vote or a proxy vote (this is where someone you trust votes

on your behalf).

To find out more, why not visit the independent elections

watchdog's website: at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk Make sure nothing

stops you from having your say on who represents you.
