Register to vote in our referendum!
On Thursday 6 May, residents in Nether Stowey Parish will have their say at the Nether Stowey Neighbourhood Plan
referendum – more information here and on who represents them at the Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner election. The Police and Crime Commissioner is the person who oversees your local police force and ensures they are prioritising what matters to you.
In order to vote in these elections, you must be on the electoral register. With the deadline to register to vote fast approaching, Sedgemoor District Council is urging people who have not registered at their current address to make sure they are registered in time. The deadline to register to vote is midnight on Monday, 19 April. It takes just five minutes to apply online at Register to vote.
Voters have a range of options for casting their ballot – in person, by post or by appointing someone they trust to vote in their place, known as a proxy vote. For those who choose to vote in person, all polling stations will have Covid-safe measures in place, making them safe places to vote on 6 May. The deadline to apply for a postal vote is 5pm on 20 April, and for a proxy vote the deadline is 5pm on 27 April.
