Hello digitalservices@tunbridgewells.gov.uk

Here is your weekly update from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council

 
a ballot box
 

Are you registered to vote?

Tunbridge Wells residents will be heading to the polls on Thursday 4 July to cast their ballot in the General Election. 

Residents across the borough will vote for MPs in either the Tunbridge Wells or Weald of Kent constituencies, dependent on where they live.

To vote in this election, you must have registered to vote by 11:59pm on Tuesday 18 June, and we are urging those who have not registered at their current address to do so before the deadline.

You can find more information about the important dates and deadlines in the run up to polling day, including how to register for a postal or proxy vote, on our website at www.tunbridgewells.gov.uk/generalelection
