DETAILS of how to vote in the General Election have been revealed by North Ayrshire’s Returning Officer Elma Murray.
She said: “Our priority, as always, is to continue to ensure the democratic process is open, efficient and transparent.
“Having recently staged the local council elections, our staff are well prepared for the vote and count in June.
“We were very encouraged by the number of people who turned out to vote earlier this month in the Council elections – indeed the turnout increased by six per cent on the previous election - and I hope that voters will continue to ensure their voice is heard by casting their vote in the Parliamentary election.”
Voters aged 16 or 17 on June 8 should be aware that while they were eligible to vote in the Council elections, they will not be able to vote in the Parliamentary Election as the minimum voting age is 18.
Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm for the Parliamentary Election on June 8.
The count will be held in St Matthew’s Academy, Saltcoats, with the declaration made in the early hours of Friday.
