Residents are being reminded that they could miss out on the chance to vote if they don’t register by April 18.
Elections for Daventry District Council will take place on Thursday, May 3, for all 36 seats in the Council’s wards, as well as a number of parish elections.
Daventry District Council has recently been the subject of an Electoral Review, which has changed the number of councillors to be elected from 38 to 36.
To be able to vote, people living in the Daventry District need to ensure they have registered on the electoral register by April 18, 2012.
Simon Bovey, Daventry District Council’s Deputy Chief Executive, said: “Voting in elections is the best way to have your say on issues that affect you the most, but it’s important to realise that it’s not possible to vote without being registered on the Electoral Register.
“Paying Council Tax does not automatically get you on the register of electors and I would urge people to contact us if they think they may not be registered to vote.”
Anyone who did not receive or was not included on the household registration form sent out last autumn, or has moved since then, should contact the Electoral Registration Officer at Daventry District Council on 01327 871100.
