"If you need to register, I would urge you to do this as soon as possible, and not leave it until the last moment," says Kim Smith, Chief Executive of H&F Council. "If you're not registered to vote, then you won’t be able to have your say in these elections."

To vote in the UK, you must be registered to vote and also fill in the European Parliament voter registration form (pdf 154KB). This must received by the council no later than Tuesday 7 May.

If you don’t complete and return this form, you won’t be able to vote in the European Parliamentary Elections in this borough.
