Residents in East Cambridgeshire are being reminded they have only days left to register to vote in this year's General and local elections.

In order to vote in the elections on Thursday 7 May, people need to have registered to vote by the deadline on Monday 20 April.

The process is simple and can take as little as three minutes online

John Hill, Chief Executive at East Cambridgeshire District Council, said: "It is really important that you register to vote for a variety of reasons. At this time of year - if you aren't on the Electoral Roll you will have no voice in the forthcoming elections. In East Cambridgeshire, there are local elections as well as the General Election taking place so register before Monday 20 April to have the opportunity to cast your vote on the ballot papers in May."
