POLL cards for the forthcoming general and local elections on May 7 will be arriving on doormats over the next ten days.

West Somerset residents are being advised to check their poll card to make sure that they know which polling station they need to use on polling day – Thursday, May 7.

If you don’t receive a poll card, you may not be registered to vote.

This needs to be done by April 20 to make sure that you can have your say at the ballot box.

The easiest way to register is by visiting gov.uk/register-tovote
