Electoral Services

In a democratic country local councillors and Members of Parliament both in the United Kingdom and in Europe make decisions that affect all our lives every day.

The role of the Council’s Electoral Services Team is to ensure that every eligible resident of Cheshire East Borough can, if they wish, exercise their right to vote at election time.

The Electoral Services Team deals with the administrations of all Parish, Unitary, General and European elections and Referenda which occur in the Cheshire East Council area. As part of this it also has the responsibility of maintaining and updating the Electoral Register and arranging Postal and Proxy Votes

The Electoral Register is a list of the names and addresses of everyone who is entitled to vote. By law you must register every year, even if you do not intend to vote. You are not automatically registered even if you pay Council Tax.
