Safeguard your right to vote

Some handy advice here from Conwy County Borough Council.

While the date for the General Election is not yet known, don't wait until it's announced before you secure your right to vote.

Registering to vote only takes a few minutes.

Sometimes people don't realise they need to re-register every year. Conwy County Borough Council wrote to all households back in October 2009. If you are not sure you returned your form, or if you have moved house since then and have not re-registered at your new address, then take a few minutes to do so now, and make sure nothing stops you from having your say on election day.

Remember, if you are not registered, you can't vote!
