People in Carmarthenshire are being urged to ensure they are registered to vote ahead of the forthcoming European elections.
In order to vote in the elections taking place on Thursday, May 22, an individual’s name needs to be on the electoral register.
People have until Tuesday, May 6, to register on the electoral role in order to be eligible to vote.
Electoral Services Manager Amanda Bebb said: “There are a number of reasons why it is important to be included on the electoral register.
“Elections can be called at short notice and if you are not registered you will not be able to vote.
“Voting also ensures you have a say on the issues of the day while being on the electoral register can maintain your credit rating.”
Registering is quick and simple. Just visit: www.aboutmyvote.co.uk and print off a registration form.
Alternatively, apply for the appropriate forms or check your name is on the register by calling 01267 228889 or email electoralservices@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
People can also vote by post if they apply by May 7, or by proxy by 5pm on May 14.
