Residents urged to check they are registered to vote

Message from Cheshire East Council:

Residents are to be urged to check their electoral registration details so they don't lose their chance to vote on decisions that affect them.

With significant elections taking place in Cheshire East next May, this is an opportunity for eligible residents to make sure they can take part.

There will be elections for all seats on Cheshire East Council on 6 May 2027, as well as for all town and parish councillors in the borough and – for the first time – an elected mayor of the Cheshire and Warrington Combined Authority.

The annual canvass allows Cheshire East to keep the electoral register up to date, to identify who risks losing their voice at elections and to encourage them to register before it’s too late. Recent home movers in particular are urged to check their details.

The easiest way to register as a voter is online at: www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

Information on registering to vote is available on the Electoral Commission website.

Residents with questions about their registration status can contact their local council’s electoral services team on 0300 123 5016.
