Your Right to Vote in Uk elections
BRITISH CITIZENS – YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE FORTHCOMING UK GENERAL ELECTION
Register and ensure your right to vote.
Are you in danger of losing your right to vote? Are you concerned about the exchange rate or your pension? If you do not register in the next 4 weeks you will not be able to take part in the most contested British General Election since World War II. Find out more - come to the VIRGEN DEL CARMEN CULTURAL CENTRE in
Torrevieja, Calle Ramon Gallud at 6pm on Wednesday, March 17th where a team of English speaking experts will explain to you how important it is to vote and how you can cut through the paperwork to register in time.
Please carry your passport (or a copy with the number) and the details of your last address in the UK, the team will assist you with the form-filling. Your vote will then count back in the Constituency where you used to live.
There are over 2 million people outside the UK who are not registered to vote. If you are one of them you will regret if the Government elected is not of your choice!
Important Note - At the last count only 2% of expats in Spain were registered to vote. There are 2.5 million expats worldwide and the greatest concentration of British Citizens in the world living outside the UK is in Murcia, Alicante and Valencia.
Many people do not realise that they can still vote (so long as they have not been away from the UK for more than 15 years). The right to vote comes with being a British Citizen and an adult. Even those incarcerate in prisons in the UK can vote.
