Reminder to register to vote in Verderers Election 2024

Commoners are being reminded to register to vote so they can have their say in the upcoming Verderers election.

The election takes place later this year on Tuesday 26th November, when the terms of office of David Readhead and Graham Ferris come to an end.

Letters and forms have been sent to people whose names appeared on the previous 2021 Electoral Register and others who have expressed an interest since.

Those wishing to vote must return their completed registration and declaration form as soon as possible. If you are yet to register but would like to vote in the election, then please contact the Verderers urgently.

“It is vital as many commoners as possible are registered to vote in this election,” said New Forest CDA chairman Andrew Parry-Norton.

“If you have an acre of land with Forest Rights you are eligible to cast a vote. Please spread the word as it is a great opportunity to help shape the future of the New Forest and the decision-making within it.”

For queries or further information, please email enquiries@verderers.org.uk or call 02380 282052. Alternatively, head into the Verderers office in Lyndhurst.
