\"Vote\"Local people will be heading to the polls on Thursday 3 May. And for those not yet registered to vote there are only a few weeks left to apply to register and ensure you have your say.
\nThe polls are for the Mayor of Tower Hamlets and local councillors who represent borough wards on Tower Hamlets Council.
\nIn order to be able to cast your vote, you need to ensure you have applied to register by 17 April and are approved to vote at these elections.
\nChief Executive of the council and Returning Officer for the elections, Will Tuckley, said: \u201cApplying to register to vote only takes a few minutes \u2013 it is quick and easy.
\n\u201cBy registering to vote, you can ensure you will have a say on who will be Mayor and which councillors will serve the borough for the next four years.
\n\u201cIt is an important decision, and one that everyone has a stake in. I hope as many local people as possible will ensure they are registered so they can cast their vote on Thursday 3 May.\u201d
\nYou can apply to register to vote by visiting the Government\u2019s website www.gov.uk\/register-to-vote<\/a>.
