Luke has called on Plymouth to make sure they are registered to vote in the upcoming local election this May. The deadline for registering to vote in 17 April.

Registering is easy and only takes a couple of minutes. To register or check you are already registered visit www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

Make sure that you are not turned away at the ballot box in May. While you should only need to register to vote once, if you have moved or gone away to university, you will need to re-register.

Individuals are not automatically registered to vote when they turn eighteen, but 16 and 17-year-olds can put themselves on the register so that they will be ready to vote as soon as they turn 18.

If you plan to vote in person, you will need to make sure that the address you will be at on 3 May is the one you are registered for.
