Register to vote - before it's too late

Time is running out to make sure that you are registered to vote in time for the local elections, which take place on 5th May, when new city councillors will be elected to represent Lancaster and Morecambe taxpayers until 2015.

Parish Councils and town councils throughout the district will also be holding their elections on 5th May., but if you’re not on the electoral register by 14th April, you won’t be able to vote.

Canvass forms were delivered between August and November last year, so if you filled one in you should still be registered and do not need to do so again unless you have since moved home.

If you have moved home you will need to fill in a ‘rolling registration’ form, if you haven’t done so already.
