Don't Miss Out on Your Vote

Although the General Election has yet to be called, Ribble Valley Borough Council's electoral registration team is already working hard to ensure that all eligible voters can have their say on polling day.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has to call a General Election by June 2010 and is expected to do so in May.

Council canvassers have already collected electoral registration forms from the borough's 30,000 homes for the 2009 Ribble Valley Register of Electors.

The register, published on December 1, contains the names of people aged 18 and over in each home, who were resident in the borough on the qualifying date of October 15.

However, if you have moved house after October 15, the law now provides for the register to be updated on a monthly basis.

Copies of the register are available at the Ribble Valley Borough Council Offices in Church Walk, Clitheroe, or Clitheroe and Whalley Libraries.

You can add your name to the register by completing a application form available from the council's electoral registration team on 01200 414411 or www.aboutmyvote.co.uk

Ends.
