Elections in this part of the world are often won - and lost - by a handful of votes. So many people - some of them Conservatives - don't vote because they are working late, away on business or simply forget polling day. You get the picture.

Voting by post has never been easier! And with the Council Elections fast approaching, don't risk losing your vote. Everyone knows that Tottenham is a two-horse race between hard-working local Conservatives and Gordon Brown's Labour Party. The Liberal Democrats are out of the race here.

To register to vote or check on your eligibility, contact the Electoral Registration Team. Civic Centre, Wood Green N22 8LE 020 8489 2953; 020 8489 2951 Fax 020 8489 2907. You can also download a postal application form at http://www.haringey.gov.uk/data/voting/PostalVote.pdf
