Cheshire East Council is urging people to make sure they are eligible to vote in the elections, especially those who rent their homes.
With less than a month to go until the next parliamentary General Election on Thursday 7th May, as well as elections for every seat in Cheshire East Council and all nine seats on Alderley Edge Parish Council, Cheshire East is keen to ensure as many people as possible are eligible to vote on the day.
Recent changes, under the banner of Individual Electoral Registration, mean that you will need to register at your new address. You can do this easily by going to www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
You will need to give your National Insurance number as well your date of birth and address. The deadline for registering to vote in time for this year's elections is 20th April.
If you have registered yourself at your current address since 10th June 2014, and you have not moved since, you will be registered to vote under the new system. You will be registered to vote if you have received information at your current address telling you that you are registered under the new system.
