Midnight deadline looms to register to vote in General Election

Sandgrounders aged 18 or over who aren’t yet registered to vote need to do so by midnight tonight (Tuesday June 18th) or else they won’t be able to have a say in the general election.

Anyone who wants to have a ballot cast in the election on July 4th can only do so if they’re registered to vote.

The deadline expires at 11:59pm on Tuesday June 18th.

You can register to vote any time of the year online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote – it’s free, quick and easy.

You just need your National Insurance number. It’s on pay slips, letters about benefits, tax returns, and other official correspondence.
