REGISTERING TO VOTE IN THE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS

With so much of your day-to-day life affected by the County Council it is really important that you vote in the upcoming elections. You can vote if you are a British Citizen, an EU citizen resident in the UK or a qualifying Commonwealth citizen. Students can register both at home and at college and in local elections can vote in both places (if both addresses are not in West Sussex)

If you are not currently registered to vote then register at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

VOTING BY POST

Did you know that everyone is entitled to vote by post if they wish to?  

Postal votes are not just for those people who are too infirm to visit the polling station, or who are out of the country at the time of an election.  

​Postal votes are a convenient way for anyone to exercise their democratic right.  If you are busy with children, caring for relatives or simply arrive home late after a hard day at work then postal voting could be for you.

​Download the form from gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-a-postal-vote

Once completed you send the form to:

Chichester District Council
East Pallant House
East Pallant
Chichester
PO19 1TY

You will then be sent a postal voting card well in advance of polling day.  You don't even need a stamp to return it!

You can apply for a postal vote for a single election or on an on-going basis.  Make sure your voice is heard in every election.
