Local elections will take place on Thursday 5 May.  There will also be an Alternative Vote referendum the same day, which could change how we vote at parliamentary elections.

You must be registered to vote by 14 April if you wish to vote at the local elections and the referendum.  You are not automatically registered even if you pay council tax.

If you are planning to be away on 5 May, given the extra Bank Holiday for the royal wedding, you should still register to vote before 14 April and then you can either apply to vote by post before 14 April or apply to vote by proxy before 21 April.

If you have moved recently or know that you are not registered to vote you can download a voter registration form from www.cambridge.gov.uk/elections or request one by phoning 01223 457048.
