Election

[karen2205]

There appears to be an election for my ward for the town council on Thursday. I haven't received a poll card (though have received electoral publicity from two of the candidates). My telephone call to Electoral Services wasn't returned. What do I do next? I'm imagining it's too late to do anything about it if my name isn't on the right bit of the electoral roll (though I know I'm correctly registered). But eh, disenfranchisement. I could just turn up at the polling station on the day. Is there anything else useful I can do, apart from phoning Electoral Services again/faxing them?

If you are on the electoral roll, you can vote without a polling card.

Parish and TC elections - as opposed to district, boro or met ones - rarely have polling cards issued. They cost too much compared to the typical TC budgetm and TCs only have very limited powers.
