Local voters are being reminded that they do not need poll cards to vote in next week’s local elections.

On 4th June, voters across the district will go to the polls in elections for Lancashire County Council and the European Parliament.

In Morecambe there are also elections for Morecambe Parish Council and in Lancaster the voters of Castle Ward will elect a new city councillor following the recent resignation of Catriona Stamp.

Although poll cards have been delivered to all those residents who are on the electoral register, if you have lost yours or not had one delivered don’t worry.

To be able to vote you do not need a poll card – simply visit your polling station and give your name and address.

Anyone who is unsure whether they are on the electoral register, or the location of their polling station, should telephone the elections helpline on 01524 582905.
