You have probably noticed that there is an election coming up!
In Bury there are, in fact, TWO elections on 7th May 2015, and every voter will be given TWO SEPARATE VOTES:
– a GENERAL ELECTION vote to choose an MP for this area and who will form the next Government
– a LOCAL vote to choose one of your local councilors – someone who will stand up for your area at Bury Town Hall.
If you are not registered to vote you can register online up to 20 April 2015
Registerion is online and only takes a few minutes. You will need you National Insurance number to register online.
POSTAL VOTES
Many voters in our area now vote by post. This is simple and secure system where you receive your ballot papers in the post a couple of weeks before polling day, and post them back securely when you have completed them.
Anyone can choose to vote by post. Remember at the General Election in 2010 there were quewes outside some polling stations at busy times!
To apply for a postal vote you need to download and PRINT this form, and then send it back to the Council. These must be received before Wednesday 22 April 2015.
This year postal votes will be received from about 24 April 2015.
If you don’t have access to a printer, we can drop a form off for you – just email our team: organiser@burylibdems.net
