DRAFT REGISTER OF ELECTORS 2001
WHAT THE DRAFT REGISTER IS FOR

1.	The Register of Electors for the twelve months beginning on 16th February 2001 based on the draft register. Unless your name is on the Register of Electors you will not be able to vote at Parliamentary, European Parliamentary or local government elections. To make sure that you will be on the new register and be able to vote you should therefore look at the draft register to see that your name is included on it.

HOW TO FIND YOUR NAME IN THE DRAFT REGISTER
2.	Before you can trace your name in the draft register you must know in which polling district you live. If you do not know, ask whether an index of streets is available showing where your address appears in the register. If you are unable to find your address in the register, you may telephone [phone number removed], to confirm in which polling district your address appears.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE DRAFT REGISTER
3.	If your name is not on the draft register and you think it ought to be, you should submit a claim before 16th December 2000 on a form which I will give you.

4.	Your name ought to be on the register if you are over 18 now, or your 18th birthday is before 16th February 2002 and

either
(i)
you were resident at an address in the constituency on 10th October 2000
or
(ii)
you have, as a service voter, made a service declaration on or before 10th October 2000 in respect of an address in the constituency.
or
(iii)
you have, as a voluntary mental patient, made a patient’s declaration on or before 10th October 2000 in respect of an address in the constituency.
or
(iv)
you have, as an overseas elector, made an overseas elector’s declaration on or before 10th October 2000 in respect of an address in the constituency.
The letter “N” by your name indicates that your name is not included in the current register but will be included in the register being prepared.


OBJECTIONS TO, OR ALTERATIONS OF ENTRIES
5.	A request for the alteration of any entry, or any objection to the inclusion of any person’s name, should be submitted to me before 16th December 2000 on a form which I will give you.
