Sir – According to the Electoral Commission, 3.5m people in the UK are entitled, but not registered, to vote.

While we may disagree with each other in politics, we are agreed that the right to vote is paramount. It cannot be exercised without registration.

A General Election is imminent. We all have an interest in ensuring that those who are entitled to vote are registered to vote. The registration form requires little more than name, address and signature, and is available online from the Electoral Commission (www.aboutmyvote.co.uk), or by post from Electoral Services, West Oxfordshire District Council, Council Offices, Wood Green, Witney, OX28 1NB (phone 01993 861410).

Prospective Parliamentary Candidates for the Witney Constituency:Dawn Barnes, Liberal Democrat Party; Joe Goldberg, Labour Party; Stuart Macdonald, Green Party; Paul Wesson, Independent
