Make your mark, make it count

Everyone over the age of 15 who lives in the BNDfC area is entitled to vote in the forthcoming elections for six Community Representatives on the New Deal Board.

You are included even if you do not have residency status from the Home Office or if you have recently moved to the area.

In order to vote, your name must be on the BNDfC election register. The closing date for this is Friday, 1st June 2007.

Don’t miss out – make sure you are registered to vote.

If you are already registered to vote in local and national elections, you will automatically be on the BNDfC electoral register unless you have opted-out of being included in the public electoral register. You will not be on this register if you are under 18 or you have recently moved to the area.

If you are not sure if you are on the BNDfC register, contact Mark Stringfellow on 292 2910.

If you are not registered, all you need to do is take two pieces of identity proving you live in Burngreave to the Information Shop at 131 Spital Hill and we will make sure you are added to our register. The information supplied for our electoral register will be treated as confidential and will not be shared with any other organisation.

You do not even have to go to a polling station to cast your vote. In early summer, ballot packs will be sent by post to everyone on the BNDfC electoral register. Each pack will contain a ballot paper, information on each candidate and a pre-paid envelope to return your vote.

Opportunities to Vote

There will be a number of opportunities for you to vote throughout the summer. Your last opportunity to vote will be at the Abbeyfield Multicultural festival on Sunday 8th July 2007. The results will be advertised in mid July after the festival with a celebration to welcome the new Board members.

Although sometimes challenging, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the BNDfC Board and hope you too will want to get involved.

Rose Ardron, Retiring Chair, BNDfC Partnership Board.
