ELECTORAL forms are being delivered to all Gravesham home owners so they can register to vote for next May's local elections.

Gravesham Council is sending out the forms and warning that residents are legally obliged to register and failing to do so could harm their credit rating.

A council spokeswoman said: “Everyone who lives in the property that is over the age of 18 should be included on the form.

“Young people aged 16 and 17 should be added to their form with their date of birth. You are required by law to register but it is your choice whether or not you vote.”

If you have not received your form by the end of next week, contact electoral services on 01474 337253.
