Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough residents urged to return electoral registration forms

Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough residents are warned that they risk losing their vote unless they return their electoral registration forms by Friday 7 November.

So far only 60,400 households have responded to the electoral register information request – but almost 13,000 have still not registered and could be ineligible to vote.

Canvassers will be calling on properties in the borough who have not yet responded.

Andrew Scott, Windsor and Maidenhead democratic and civic services manager, said: "I would urge people to send their forms back now. Do not wait for someone to call. People need to register each year even if they have lived at the same address and circumstances have not changed.

"The register has to be updated every year by law and every householder has a legal obligation to complete the form each year."

Further information is available from the electoral registration office on 01628 685717
