Don’tlose theright tovote

Residents are being warned not to lose their voice on matters that affect them by completing and returning their annual canvass form to their local electoral registration office as soon as possible.

The form ensures that the office can keep the electoral register up to date and identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so.

This will mean that residents will be able take part in any future elections.

Pete Wildman, Electoral Registration Officer for Central Scotland said: “If you want to register, the easiest way is online at www.gov.uk/ register-to-vote, or we’ll send you information in the post explaining how to do this.

“In any case, you will still need to complete the form and send it back to us.”

People who have moved address recently are particularly encouraged to keep an eye out for the form and check the details.
