Go Clemo!

Are you registered to vote at the 5th May ‘alternative vote’ referendum and local government elections yet?

If you’re over 18 and a UK resident, you can vote in the upcoming Alternative Vote referendum and local government elections on Thursday 5th May 2011.

In order to vote, you need to be registered. If you think you might not be registered (perhaps you’ve moved house or turned 18 recently) and you live at a York address, you can register easily by downloading, printing and signing this form (PDF), then posting it to the council at the address given.

If you can’t print the form yourself, go to the council office at the Guildhall, and ask for one at reception. It only takes a minute to complete, then you can hand it straight in.

Monday 11th April 2011 is the last day you can register to vote on 5th May according to the York Council website.
