WILTSHIRE Council is urging people to register to vote by post, with a number of elections and referendums due to take place later this spring.
They report, “On 6th May, registered voters will be able to have their say in the Police and Crime Commissioner, unitary, and town and parish council elections. Due to the ongoing pandemic, Wiltshire’s returning officer is asking that as many people as possible register to vote via post.
“To avoid the risk of fraud, a signature is required when applying for a postal vote. Anyone unable to print a postal vote application form at home should call Wiltshire Council on 0300 456 0112 and they can arrange for a copy to be posted out.
“People can visit www.gov.uk/ government/publications/apply-for-a-postal-vote for more information and to get a form.”
People can visit www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ elections for details about the elections.
