Postal Votes Make a Difference

If you will be away on polling day, at work or on holiday, are physically unable or just don't have the time to get to a polling station to vote in person, you can still exercise your democratic right to vote.

Traditionally in local elections Conservative Coucillors have improved their votes and even gained a few seats through Postal Votes, we would therefore urge you to make use of this valuable resource, Alternatively, you may have moved house since the electoral register was drawn up and have not yet joined the register at your new address.

You can choose either to vote by post or to appoint someone else - a proxy - to vote on your behalf. To find out more about voting by post the following websites all offer advice:

• www.postalvotes.co.uk - the offical Government Website on Postal Voting
• www.merton.gov.uk - Merton Council advice on How to Vote

From this site, you can download an application form to vote by post.

Simply print the form out, complete the details and send or fax it to the local Electoral Registration Officer at the local council's offices.
