• IT is time for all residents to confirm their voting rights by filling in their household registration forms.

They will drop through the letterboxes of over 81,000 houses, flats, bedsits, houseboats and caravans this week. All households are required to re-register; however, if their details have not changed, they can take advantage of the new Telephone or Online registration facility, using the unique security code provided on each form. Residents who do not receive a form by September or who need help filling it out should contact the Electoral Helpline on 020 8891 7775 or electoral.services@richmond.gov.uk All British, Commonwealth, and European Union Citizens over the age of 16 must be included on the form. Children and pets must not be included.
