Over 40,000 residents in Derbyshire Dales have already secured their right to vote next year, a huge amount for this stage of the process.

Registration forms have been sent to all households in the Dales and must be returned by 15 October.

David Wheatcroft, Chief Executive of Derbyshire Dales District Council said: “Yet again there has been a fantastic response, I would like to thank residents for registering so quickly. Reminders are being sent to those that have not yet responded and I would urge people to secure their vote now.”

If you have not received a registration form or for more information about registering to vote contact the District Council’s helpline 01629 761335 or email electoral@derbyshiredales.gov.uk
