Calderdale Council’s Chief Executive and Returning Officer, Robin Tuddenham, said: “Time is running out to make sure you can take part in the local and parish elections. Elections are an opportunity to have your say on who represents you on issues that affect your day-to-day life here in Calderdale, from housing and transport to social care and leisure. Your vote matters – don’t lose it.”

The Council’s Electoral Registration Officer has sent out poll cards to people who are currently registered to vote. Look out for it in the post – it tells you where to go to vote or if you are currently a postal voter. If you are registered and not sure where to go to vote, enter your postcode at www.wheredoivote.co.uk
