People in Cornwall who have not yet registered to vote are being urged to do so before the European Union Referendum. However, anyone who is already registered is being reassured that they need take no further action – they, as a matter of course, will be eligible to vote in the in-out EU referendum on Thursday, June 23. Those who are not on the electoral register for Cornwall need to register by Tuesday, June 7. When the revised electoral register for Cornwall was published in December 2015, there were 396,474 voters on the register. This number increased by nearly 18,000 to 414,461 in time for the Police and Crime Commissioner elections earlier this month.
