Electoral register - reminders for residents

Make October 31 a day of 'many happy returns' by getting your electoral registration forms completed and sent back to the Town Hall.

That's the message to Royal Borough residents as the council's elections team send out their annual reminder of the closing date for inclusion in the following year's electoral register.  Inclusion in the register enables residents to vote at local, national and European elections.
 
More than 60,000 forms were distributed in August and those properties that had not responded by Friday 21 September 2007 will be getting a reminder form in the next week asking them to:
· check the information on the registration form is correct
· make any corrections needed, using the guidance notes enclosed
· use the postage-paid envelope to reply by the closing date (after that a different form is required). 

The completed forms should be returned by post or, but if all the details are correct, residents can simply provide confirmation by using the freephone 0800 025 0900 or by logging on to www.electorregistration.co.uk/rbwm and using the security codes provided on the registration form.

If you have problems completing the form and require help please contact the number below.

The registration form also gives people the opportunity to request postal voting application forms and to opt out of the version of the electoral register available to commercial organisations for marketing purposes.

When the register is published on November 30 2007, residents should check their names are on it.  The register will be available for inspection at York House, Sheet Street, Windsor, The Town Hall, Maidenhead, and the main libraries in Windsor and Maidenhead.

Anyone who moves house during the year should make sure they change their entry by contacting the electoral registration office for a form or printing one from the website.  Entries cannot be changed from council tax records.
