John Mothersole, Returning Officer for the elections in Sheffield said: “Your vote counts, but you need to be registered. I would encourage everyone to check to see if you need to register and ensure your name is listed so you don’t lose your right to vote in May.”
Under the new Individual Electoral Registration system, every individual is responsible for registering themselves and it takes just five minutes online.
