One day left to register to vote in the May elections

There is only one day left to register if you want to vote in next month’s UK elections. Applications missed by Thursday’s deadline.

Competitions are held on May 5 in all four nations, in Scotland, Wales, London and many parts of England, and all council seats, with the election of a new Assembly for Northern Ireland. But people who had not yet registered to vote, or were not sure they had the power, did not have much time to run.

The registration deadline for England, Wales and Northern Ireland is April 14 at 11:59pm. The deadline for Scotland residents is April 18.

A total of 28,273 applications were filed on Tuesday, according to government data. That’s double the annual average for the year and the highest day since last fall.

This rate is likely to increase as the breakout approaches. On the last equivalent day last year, requests increased to nearly 90,000.

Craig Westwood, Director of Communications at the Election Commission, told the Palestinian News Agency: “There are only hours left to register to vote before the May elections. If you want to make sure that your voice is heard and that you are not yet registered, it is very important that you go online and register now at www. gov.uk/registertovote.

“It only takes five minutes, so the next time you’re waiting for the boil, you can register to vote. All you need is your name, date of birth and National Insurance number.”

Most seats were finally contested for the May 5 election in 2018, when the UK was still in the European Union, with Prime Minister Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labor Party and Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable. The UK’s political landscape has undergone massive changes over the past four years.

However, many of the issues that local elections may address remain the same, such as garbage collection, the condition of neighborhood parks and sidewalks, and access to libraries and hospitals. This year’s elections are also likely to be a verdict on the leaders of the major parties and their handling of national issues such as the cost of living and Covid-19.

It would be the first major electoral test for Prime Minister Boris Johnson since the party scandal. Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer and Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Dave are being questioned whether their parties will be able to make money at the Conservatives’ expense.

In Scotland and Wales, the SNP and Plaid Cymru both want to maintain their position amid the challenges of the other parties. And across the country, smaller groups like the Greens, resident associations and independents hope to create surprises and problems.

Elections will take place on Thursday 5 May: – All local governments in Scotland, Wales and London – Regional Mayor of South Yorkshire plus Barnsley and Sheffield County Councils – 60 regional councils, 31 metropolitan areas and 19 united authorities across the rest of England – County councils in North Yorkshire and Somerset – All 90 seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly – The local mayors of Croydon, Hackney, Lewisham, Newham, Tor Hamlet and Watford Bristol also hold a referendum on keeping or abolishing the city’s elected mayor.
