Don’t lose your vote – return your registration form
Orkney Islands Council is urging anyone who has not returned their electoral registration form to do so as soon as possible.
Reminders have just been issued to around a quarter of the households in Orkney who have yet to return their form.
The forms are used to produce the Register of Electors. If your name is not on the register you will not be able to vote in any elections and may also find it difficult to obtain credit or open a bank account.
The new Register will be published on December 1, 2011.
Any household in Orkney which has not received a form, or needs a replacement form, should contact the Electoral Registration Office at 8 Broad Street, Kirkwall, Tel: 876222 or e-mail ero@orkney.gov.uk
