With the EU referendum fast approaching, local councils in Sussex and Surrey are urging residents to register to vote by the 7 June deadline.

If you’re already registered to vote, you do not need to register again.

The referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union will take place on Thursday 23 June 2016.

A voting guide – which has been delivered to every UK household over the past week – contains important information for voters on how to register to vote, how to cast their vote and arguments from the lead campaigners for the ‘Remain’ and ‘Leave’ side.

There’s more information online at aboutmyvote.co.uk.

You can also phone the Electoral Commission helpline free on 0800 3 280 280.
