I promise faithfully not to mention the local elections too much (vote for me!).
But the registration of candidates is under way and we will know who is standing in which ward next Tuesday 4th April. (vote for me!)
Remember, this year if you wish to vote in person you will need to show photo ID in order to do so.
If you don't have photo ID you can either apply for a postal vote . (you can do so here: https://www.testvalley.gov.uk/.../voting-in-elections...)
Or apply for a Voter Authority Certificate, which you can do here:

You can use expired photo ID as long as the photo is a good likeness of you. So, expired driving licenses or passports are permissable.
Oh, and if you are in Blackwater ward, please vote for me!
