Time is running out for those wishing to vote in Islington

The deadline is looming for Islington residents to register to vote in the May 22 Local and European Elections.

Residents who wish to have a say in who runs the borough must apply to be on the electoral roll by 6 May to vote and ensure their voice is heard.

Islington has more than 155,000 people eligible to vote - 10,000 more than last time council elections took place in 2010, including many first time voters.

Lesley Seary, chief executive of Islington Council, said: “It’s very easy to register to vote – if you haven’t registered already, get in touch today so you can have your say.”
