REMEMBER TO VOTE

Bournemouth West M.P., John Butterfill, today gave his support to the Electoral Commission’s Registration Week which launches an advertising campaign today to remind people to ensure that they are registered.  John said:  “All people need to do is to complete a simple form and return it to their local authority by 18th April, if they have not already completed and returned a form within the last six months.  People who have recently moved house also need to do this as a matter of urgency.”  He went on:  “Local elections take place on 3rd May and voters in Bournemouth need to make sure they don’t lose their right to vote by missing the registration deadline.”
