General Election - 8 June 2017 Your vote makes a difference - Make sure you use it in every election

Why vote? Your vote is important in every election. General elections, local and European polls, elections for a mayor or a police and crime commissioner, are all about issues that affect you and your family. By using your vote you can make a difference where you live. Local services, housing, jobs, the economy, health, crime and transport are some of the issues decided by elected politicians at all levels. That’s why everyone who has a vote should use it. Don’t lose your voice But before you can vote you need to be registered. Under the individual voter registration system some people will no longer be on the register, especially if they have moved home recently. If you are not sure you can check by contacting the electoral services team at your local council. Voting by post And if you work shifts or find getting to the polling station difficult why not register for a postal vote. Find out more at aboutmyvote.co.uk.
