Before you vote:
Read all the candidates’ manifestos – you want to make sure that you are voting for someone who represents your views. Each candidate should have their manifesto available in their details online at www.bgfl.org/vote2008
 
If possible, talk to the candidates, you can then ask them questions about specific issues that are important to you. Find out what they want to achieve and how they intend to do that.
 
How to register to vote:

Please note: The automated email we send which includes your VIN may be blocked by your email account/spam settings, so please check your spam folder if you have registered but have not received your VIN.
