Residents across Bedford Borough are being urged not to lose their voice at the next election by making sure their electoral registration details are up to date.
With Police and Crime Commissioner elections taking place in May 2024, and a Parliamentary Election that could be called at any time between now and January 2025, the annual canvass is an important opportunity for residents to makes sure they are on the next register and their details are as up to date.
Forms are being delivered to every household in the Borough in August and it’s vital that residents read them and follow the instructions if they want to vote in next year’s elections.
Laura Church, Chief Executive and Returning Officer at Bedford Borough Council, said, “It’s important that residents keep an eye out for correspondence from Bedford Borough Council so we can make sure we have the right details on the electoral register for every address in the borough.
“To ensure your participation in the upcoming elections next May, simply follow the provided instructions. The process is quick, easy, and only takes a few minutes.
“By responding quickly, residents will ensure their place on the Electoral Register for future elections as well as saving council resources spent on reminder letters.”
“If you’re not currently registered to vote you can easily register online at www.gov.uk/registertovote or you can call 0300 126 7000."
