Special Votes

Your vote counts. For those people who are not on the electoral roll for this year’s elections, or who will be away from the area, special votes are now available. Voting papers will be posted to residents from 17-22 September 2010. If you don’t receive them – perhaps because you have just registered to be on the roll, you moved house, or have turned 18 – you are eligible to cast a special vote.
