BEXLEY residents are being reminded to complete their voter registration forms.

A freephone number printed on the form can be called if your details have not changed.

If your household's details have changed, the form simply needs to be updated and returned to the council as soon as possible.

The deadline is November 19 and residents are reminded they are not automatically entitled to vote just because they pay council tax or have voted before.

Canvassers employed by the council will call on people who have not responded until the end of November.

All canvassers will be issued with identity cards but if residents have any concerns about anyone who claims to be involved in the canvass, they should ring the council's elections office on 0203045 3614/5/6/7.

The next ballot residents can take part in is a Bexley Council election in May 2014.

Anyone who has not received their registration form can download one by visiting bexley.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=425
