General election Thursday, 12 December.

The deadline to register to vote and the deadline for postal vote applications are both Tuesday, 26 November.

People who have recently registered to vote and whose circumstances are unchanged do not need to re-register to vote in the general election.

As always, anyone whose circumstances have recently changed should update their information as soon as possible. That could include moving home, turning 18 and needing to register for the first time, or a change of name following marriage or divorce.

SNC will be knocking on doors to encourage unregistered residents to register until Monday, 25 November.

SNC will publish the statement of candidates for the South Northants parliamentary constituency on Thursday, 14 November.
