People not yet registered to vote in the European Parliament and District Council elections later this month only have a few days left to get their name on the electoral register.

The deadline for registering is this Tuesday (6/5), with anyone not registered in time missing out on having their say at the ballot box.

The quickest way to register is by visiting the Electoral Commission’s website, www.aboutmyvote.co.uk, where a form can be printed off and sent back to South Cambridgeshire District Council.

With time running out residents are also being reminded they can print, complete, sign and scan the form before returning it by email to elections@scambs.gov.uk

Residents will head to the polls on Thursday, 22nd May with a third of the seats on the District Council – 19 in total – up for election, including one of the two seats in Milton.

Postal and proxy applications can also be printed from the Electoral Commission’s website, or by calling the District Council’s elections team on 03450 455 214. Postal vote applications must be received before 5pm on Wednesday, 7th May, and proxy applications before 5pm on 14th May.

Jean Hunter, South Cambridgeshire District Council chief executive, said:

There are only a few days left to register to vote so please don’t miss this opportunity to have your say.

Registering to vote is quick, straight-forward and easy and our elections team are always happy to help. With time running short please consider how you will get the form back in time.
