The Prime Minister will announce the date for the General Election in a few weeks. There are only a few weeks left for your friends, family or colleagues abroad to get on the electoral register.
Please forward this information to anyone you know living outside the UK who might want to help vote for a change of government in Britain.
Click on the link http://www.dontleaveyourvoteathome.com to complete the Electoral Commission’s registration form as well as forms to vote by proxy or by post.
All British citizens over 18 years of age who have lived abroad for less than 15 years are eligible to vote in the constituency where they were last registered. Those who do not qualify might want to try to register regardless, to make the point that they are disenfranchised.
Please encourage expat friends or family to appoint a proxy in the UK as this is the best way to ensure their vote is counted. Anyone already on the register in any constituency can act as proxy to vote in person in the same constituency or by post in another.
British expats need to be on the register by 31st March to be certain their vote can count. So don’t leave your vote at home, register today.
I was very pleased to have the opportunity to meet with David Cameron down in Westminster last week.
