The closing date to apply for a postal vote is Wednesday, 8 May (17:00hrs) and for proxy votes Wednesday, 15 May (17:00hrs).
Iwan Davies, Local Returning Officer said: “It is important that people have the opportunity to take part in this election and do not miss out because they are not on the electoral register. Our experienced Electoral Services Team is available to provide advice and information to voters.”
Registering to vote only takes a few minutes, you just need your National Insurance number.
