RESIDENTS in the Stockton area are being reminded to complete and return canvass letters to ensure they are registered to vote in next year's local elections.
The forms were posted to all properties in the borough at the beginning of August and people are being urged to make sure they are on the electoral register ahead of the elections on May 2, 2019.
A new register will be published on December 1, 2018.
Residents will receive one of two types of letter. The first lists those registered to vote at an address along with their details which they should check and let the Council know about any changes or errors. The second type will involve going on to the Electoral Register. For help or information, call 01642 526196 or visit www.stockton.gov.uk/registertovote
