I signed up in April to vote in the EU referendum and the email said Sunderland Council would get back to me to tell me that i can vote but they haven't...
Does this mean i can still vote?
Here is part of the email:

(22 Jun 2016, 7:06 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Right. That means you were probably already registered to vote and didn't need to register again unless you've moved house within the last five years or so.

They usually know how to deal with people who have lost their cards - they have a list of people eligible to vote there on them.

(23 Jun 2016, 9:32 pm)Jimmi wrote I honestly didn't know where to stand on this one and I seem to struggle in regards to what to vote for in anything political as I simply haven't a clue as I don't feel I have enough knowledge on the matter. I'd probably just stand there pondering the decision all day not knowing what to go for and just make a panic choice there and then, I would like to be more educated on political matters but... I don't know, just can't seem to stay intrested long enough to listen to anything with intrest.

Apparently wiped more off the value of sterling than the total of every property in the whole of Sunderland.
