Are you in danger of losing your right
to vote? Are you concerned about the
exchange rate or your pension? If you
don’t register in the next FOUR WEEKS
you will not be able to take part in the
most contested British General
Election since World War II.
Find out more by coming to the
Virgen Del Carmen Cultural Centre in
Torrevieja’s central Calle Ramon
Gallud at 6 pm on Wednesday 17th
March (ample car parking) where a
team of English-speaking experts will
explain to you how important it is to
vote and how you can cut through
the paperwork to register in time. If
you bring along your passport (or a
copy with the number) and the details
of your last address in the UK, the
team will assist you with the formfilling
there and then. Your vote will
then count back in the Constituency
where you used to live.
There are over 2 million people
outside the UK not registered to vote.
If you are one of them you will kick
yourself if the Government elected is
not of your choice!
IMPORTANT NOTE
At the last count only 2% of expats in
Spain were registered to vote. There
are 2.5 million expats worldwide and
the greatest concentration of British
Citizen in the world living outside the
UK is in Murcia, Alicante and Valencia.
Many people do not realize that they
can still vote (so long as they have not
been away from the UK for more than
15 years). The right to vote comes with
being a British Citizen and an adult.
Even those incarcerated in prison in the
UK can vote. Helpful websites:
