RESIDENTS are being urged to register for forthcoming local elections.

Elections will be held across Oxfordshire to vote for who will represent them at a local level on May 3.

But people must register to be included on the electoral register, if they have not already.

If they are not registered, they have until midnight on April 17.

To apply, visit gov.uk/register-to-vote.

It takes about five minutes to fill out the form, sometimes even less than that.
