East Staffordshire residents will receive their electoral registration forms through the post earlier than usual this year. This is to ensure the electoral register is as up-to-date as possible ahead of the first Police and Crime Commissioner elections on Thursday 15 November.

Residents of East Staffordshire are being encouraged to complete their registration form and return it promptly to ensure they can have their say this November.

Residents who don’t receive their form can contact the elections team on 01283 508376 or print one off at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk

Andy O’Brien, Electoral Registration Officer, said: “Registering to vote is quick and simple. All you have to do is update the annual canvass form with details of everyone who lives in the household and is eligible to vote; and return it to us as soon as possible. These are new elections. If you want your say, you must ensure you’re registered to vote.”
