Time running out to register to vote
13/04/2023
Local Elections are being held on May 4
If you want to vote in May’s Local Elections and you aren’t registered you have just days left to get yourself set up. The deadline for registering to vote is midnight on Monday (April 17).
Polling stations are set to open across the Cherwell district on Thursday May 4, with a third of the seats on Cherwell District Council being contested.
Only people who are already registered on the Electoral Role will be able to cast a vote.
Yvonne Rees, Returning Officer, said: “Local elections are the perfect opportunity for you to have your say on who represents you on matters affecting residents, communities and businesses, including essential public services like waste collection, environmental health and leisure centres.
“It is important to make the most of your chance to vote and the first step is making sure you are registered to vote. If you have not already registered at your current address, have recently turned 18 or changed your name, make sure to register before midnight on Monday 17 April to have your say.”
Those already registered to vote at their current address do not need to re-register.
In addition to the seats on Cherwell District Council, voting will also take place for a seat on Banbury Town Council, representing the Calthorpe South ward.
