Sir,

Local government elections are scheduled to take place in all local authorities across Wales on 3 May 2012.

It's time for your readers to make sure they are registered to vote and have a say in electing their councillors.

I encourage all households in Wales to ensure they have filled in and returned the annual canvass form they will have received through the post. 

Alternatively readers may visit our website, http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk">www.aboutmyvote.co.uk, where they can print off a voter registration form that they can complete and return to their local Electoral Registration Officer.

If people don't register, they won't be able to vote.
