“I’m proud that Salford is leading the way nationally and trying new ways to encourage people to register to vote.
“I hope it is much easier for our residents and they support what we are doing. But we do understand that it’s not for everyone and they may want to register through the traditional routes – so we’ll be keeping those options open.”
The councils electoral services office have recently been sending out letters to all households in Salford, checking on the those eligible to register to vote, the letter needs to be responded too by the 31st of July. If your email address is registered with the council then they will send it out electronically.
