New national statistic show that 11,748 postal voters in Hyndburn make up 17% of the 69,020 residents who are eligible to vote in the borough elections. With elections this year due to take place slightly later on May 22nd in order to accommodate the European elections, residents still have time to register for a postal vote with Hyndburn Borough Council. Get in touch with the Council by phoning the switchboard on 01254 388111 and ask for a postal voting form.
The Hyndburn Labour group have made the decision this year not to hand out postal voting registration forms on the doorstep as the borough is under scrutiny from the Electoral Commission who are watching East Lancashire following a higher than average number of voter fraud claims.
The Lancashire Telegraph ran a story on this some time ago:
