With the General election now just days away, Erewash Borough Council is reminding voters in the borough what they need to know to have their say on polling day.

• Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm. You should have received a card with details of your local polling station. If not, you can search for your polling station via a link from the home page of the council’s website www.erewash.gov.uk or call the Erewash election hotline on 0115 907 1190 or email electreg@erewash.gov.uk
• When voting at a polling station, it is helpful to take your poll card with you. But if you don’t have it, don’t let that stop you – you can still vote as long as you are registered.
• Polling station staff will give you a ballot paper for the General Election.
• If you applied for a postal vote, it needs to be completed and returned in the envelope provided. If you leave it too late to post back, you can drop it off at a polling station within your constituency or at either Long Eaton or Ilkeston Town Hall.
