Are your electoral registration details up to date?

With Police and Crime Commissioner elections taking place in May 2024, and a Parliamentary Election that could be called at any time between now and January 2025, Bedford Borough Council is reminding residents to ensure their voices are not lost by following the instructions in the forms being delivered to every household in August.

Laura Church, chief executive and returning officer at Bedford Borough Council said: “It’s important that residents keep an eye out for correspondence from Bedford Borough Council so we can make sure we have the right details on the electoral register for every address in the borough.

“To ensure your participation in the upcoming elections next May, simply follow the provided instructions.”

She reminded residents that the process is “quick, easy, and only takes a few minutes.

“By responding quickly, residents will ensure their place on the Electoral Register for future elections as well as saving council resources spent on reminder letters.”
