RESIDENTS wanting to vote in the forthcoming European Elections have until Tuesday, May 19 to register to vote.

Elections for the European Parliament take place on June 4 but you have to be registered in order to have your say.

Anyone who wants to check whether they are on the register, or request an application form, should call electoral services 442184 or email elections@warrington.gov.uk.

Diana Terris, local returning officer for Warrington Borough Council, said: "This election gives people the chance to elect the people who will represent them in the European Parliament for the next five years.

“It is important to make sure that nobody loses out on their right to vote because they are not registered."

Postal vote applications also have to be submitted by 5pm on May 19.
