Fill in the form '“ make sure to have your say on the big issues

THIS autumn, your readers have the chance to register their voice so they can have a say on the issues that affect them.

The local council in your area is currently sending an electoral registration form to every household.

We are encouraging everyone to fill in this form.

It's straightforward and doing so means you are included on the electoral register and have the chance to vote at any forthcoming election.

If anyone is worried about their personal details being available, just tick the box saying you want to opt out of being on the "edited register" (which is the one companies can purchase).

For more information about elections coming up in 2009 and who is able to vote at each one, go to www.aboutmyvote.co.uk
