Many people are telling me how sick they are of the “current lot” and we need a fresh start etc. Yet there is every possibility that a third of the population or more may not even vote this time.

The trouble is the more people don’t, vote the more likely we will end up with a Government that is unrepresentative and no better than the “current lot”.

So make sure you vote in the local elections for Bury Council and the General Election for a new Westminster Parliament on May 6th. Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm.

If you are unable to get to the Polling stations on May 6th and would like a postal vote you can either email the elections office at Bury Town Hall at electionservices@bury.gov.uk or go to the link lower down on this website.

Alternatively you can download a Postal vote application form here: postalvoteapplicationform.pdf

If you are not yet registered to vote you can download an application form here: voterregistrationform.pdf

The deadline for the receipt of postal vote applications and voter registration is April 20th. 

For general advice etc about the elections and registration etc please call 0161 253 5113 or 5114 or email electionservices@bury.gov.uk .

DON’T WASTE IT – USE IT!
