If you don't register, you can't vote ...

The annual voter registration process is now underway. Every household in Wiltshire should have received a registration form by now.

If you haven't had one you need to contact Wiltshire Council electoral services straight away. If you have had one and haven't responded to it, then you need to do so as soon as possible.

A General Election has to be held within the life of the new electoral register, and if you're not listed you can't vote - it's as simple as that.

In addition, it's also an offence not to register but I've never known anyone to actually be prosecuted!
