Don’t get caught out - make sure you are on the electoral register

 

Residents in the Vale of Glamorgan are being urged to safeguard their vote at election time by registering this autumn.

 

The plea comes at the start of the annual canvass, when local authorities in Wales deliver electoral registration forms to all households. To vote in an election, eligible electors must be on the electoral roll.

 

All households in the Vale will now have received a letter from the Vale council containing the annual canvass form. It will list all the people currently on the electoral register for the address. Electors are asked to simply add anyone who should be registered and isn’t on the list and cross out anyone who no longer lives at the address.  The form should be signed and returned to the council as soon as possible.
