Dudley residents who requested a postal vote for this year’s local council election are reminded to return them as soon as possible.

Alison Mason, head of electoral services, said:

“We are currently issuing ballot papers to everyone who requested a postal vote and these should all be delivered by next Friday.

“We would advise people to return them as soon as possible to register their vote.”

Anyone who wants a proxy vote must apply to the electoral registration office at Kudos House, 3 Ednam Road, Dudley by 5 pm on Wednesday April 23. They can also call the election helpline on 01384 814740 or visit or www.dudley.gov.uk and navigate to the local elections 2008 pages.
