Armed Forces personnel and their families encouraged to register to vote
The Electoral Commission, in partnership with
the Ministry of Defence, have just launched an information campaign
for members of the Armed Forces and their families to encourage
them to register to vote. A mailing of information leaflets,
posters and resource CDs is currently winging its way to every
military unit around the globe.
During October and November, Unit Registration
Officers within each unit will be leading 'registration days' where
personnel will be encouraged to register, and they will be able to
ask questions about registration, elections and voting. The
Commission is encouraging Electoral Registration Officers to work
with military units to get personnel registered.
The leaflet Register to
vote – voting information for members of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces
and their families can be downloaded or ordered in hard copy
from the Do
Politics Centre.
