Local residents are being warned not to lose their voice on decisions that affect them by making sure their electoral registration details are up to date.
Reminder letters are being sent to households yet to respond to the annual electoral canvass.
With local government elections taking place in Carmarthenshire in May 2022, this is an important opportunity for residents to make sure they can take part.
The annual canvass ensures that Carmarthenshire County Council can keep the electoral register up to date, identifying any residents who are not registered to vote so that they can be encouraged to do so.
With 16-17 year olds and all nationalities now able to vote in local elections in Wales, this will be an important opportunity to ensure these new voters can get onto the electoral register before next year’s local government elections.
People who have moved recently are particularly encouraged to look out for the voter registration messages and check the details.
If you receive a reminder follow the instructions on the form to ensure our records are up to date – there are a number of ways you can respond, quickly and easily. Your vote matters. Don’t Lose it.
Information on registering to vote is available on the Electoral Commission website.
