Poll cards will be delivered at addresses across Central Bedfordshire from 5 – 9 April, with postal votes being sent out from 8 April for ward elections and 15 April for parish elections. If you do not receive a poll card, you may not be on the electoral register for the address where you live.
Richard Carr, our Electoral Registration Officer and Chief Executive, said: "Anyone not yet registered to vote should do so as soon as possible. It only takes a few minutes to complete the form online, and it will enable residents to have their say on issues that affect their lives."
Residents who haven't received their registration form or a poll card can contact our electoral services team by emailing electoral.registration@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk or calling 0300 300 8008.
