Are you registered to vote?

To vote in the General Election on Thursday 7 May you need to register to vote by Monday 20 April 2015.

The deadline for postal vote applications is 5pm Tuesday 21 April 2015.

There are three Parliamentary seats in Lambeth and you can vote for one of them. But if your name is not on the new register you won’t be able to vote.

Voting is the most important way to make your voice heard on issues that concern you. But, if you don’t register, you can’t vote – it’s as simple as that.

To register, visit www.gov.uk/register-to-vote 

Registering takes around 5 minutes and you’ll need your National Insurance Number.
