The local elections in Manchester (including Whalley Range ward) are on Thursday 5 May this year. If you may be busy on that day and unable to get to your polling station in person to cast your vote, you can apply to vote by post instead – but the application must be submitted before the deadline of 5pm on Tuesday 19 April.

All the information about how to apply, and links to download the form you need, can be found on the Manchester City Council website here.
