Around 604,000 people across Derbyshire are eligible to vote in the county council elections and people who have registered should have received their polling cards through their doors, telling them where to go to vote. Registered voters who have not received a polling card will still be able to vote.

The Chief Executive of Derbyshire County Council Ian Stephenson, said:

“Everyone uses the services provided by the county council. That is why it is so important that people who have a vote use it and have their say.”

The deadline to register to vote in the local elections has now passed, but eligible voters still have time to apply for a proxy vote. Applications must be received by 5pm on Tuesday 25th of April (Next Tuesday).

Find out how to apply for a proxy vote or for more information or contact your district or borough council direct.
