MORE than 44,000 people are registered to vote in West Devon but residents who are not registered are being urged to act now to ensure they have a vote on Thursday, May 22 for the European Parliamentary Elections. West Devon Borough Council's elections officer, Carrisa Allen, said: "People sometimes overlook the fact that they will need to register if they have moved to a new address in the past few months. "Residents may want to consider applying to vote by post or proxy if they are going to be away on May 22 and should contact the council as soon as possible." Residents can request a registration form by either calling the Elections Helpline on 01822 813665, collecting a form from the West Devon Borough Council offices at Kilworthy Park, Tavistock, or by printing off a form from http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk">www.aboutmyvote.co.uk and forwarding it to the council by May 6 to be effective for the May 22 election.
