Not registered = no vote
There will be local elections on Thursday 6th May to elect a new councillor for Burngreave. It is also the most likely date for the General Election to elect an MP.
The big change for Burngreave is that we are now in the new Brightside and Hillsborough constituency and no longer part of Sheffield Central, where Richard Caborn is currently the MP.
The final date for registering on Sheffield’s electoral roll is 9th April. You can apply for a postal vote or a proxy vote (where someone else can go to the polling station for you) after this date – but only if your name is on the electoral roll. Make sure you are registered to vote.
To register, ring the Council’s elections office on 273 4093 or visit http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/elections
