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?

Have you voted in any other election?

(22 Jun 2016, 6:43 pm)Michael wrote Don't think I've received out for it but i wanted to go to the polls anyway as its just along the road, first time voting! 

(22 Jun 2016, 6:57 pm)MurdnunoC wrote But have you received a polling card before and decided not to vote (for whatever reason)?

(22 Jun 2016, 7:03 pm)Michael wrote Ye i think i have, i haven't voted recently because I've never had any interest in it but now, i think its time i should take notice

(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.

(22 Jun 2016, 7:08 pm)Michael wrote Ah right, that's good, thanks, sorry if it sounded like the dumbest question ever!

(22 Jun 2016, 9:24 pm)BusLoverMum wrote If you don't have a card, turn up at your local polling station with some proof of address (eg bank statement, bill or recent official letter such as student loan correspondence). 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, 7:59 am)MurdnunoC wrote Yes, photocard driving licences are classed as an acceptable form of legal ID.

Both my parents are voting leave.

(23 Jun 2016, 8:40 pm)PO51WNF wrote I voted leave.

(23 Jun 2016, 9:16 pm)Jimmi wrote I could have voted but didn't as I honestly didn't have a clue as to which side to vote for. Basically I am happy that the campaigning and everything is now over, now we just have to wait and see what the outcome is...

(23 Jun 2016, 9:18 pm)Adrian wrote Should have at least spoilt your ballot paper, so it's counted in the turnout.

(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.
