City Council press release. This may or may not also apply to districts 
other than the city, I don't have any further information.

REFERENDUM ONLY POSTAL VOTE REQUEST FORMS DELIVERED TO SOME CAMBRIDGE 
RESIDENTS

Twenty-eight thousand Cambridge residents may receive a form entitled 
'Application to vote in the referendum by post', that has been sent by a 
referendum campaign group.   This form has not been sent by or on behalf of 
Cambridge City Council.  The council would like to clarify that this form 
will only allow you to apply for a postal vote for the referendum, not for 
the local election too.

The most efficient way to apply to vote by post, for both the referendum and 
the local election on Thursday 5 May 2011, is to use the 'Application to 
vote by post' form that can be found on the city council website at 
www.cambridge.gov.uk/elections or requested by phoning the city council on 
01223 457048.

If you have previously or recently (before 31 March) applied for your postal 
vote by using the council's 'Application to vote by post' form then you are 
already able to vote by post in both the local election and referendum and 
there is no need to use the 'Application to vote in the referendum by post' 
form that you may have received.

If you choose to complete and return the form 'Application to vote in the 
referendum by post', you will be able to vote by post for the referendum but 
not for the local election too.

Please remember, residents must be registered to vote before 14 April.  Once 
registered you can either apply to vote by post before 14 April or apply to 
vote by proxy before 21 April.

If you have moved recently or know that you are not registered to vote you 
can download a voter registration form from www.cambridge.gov.uk/elections 
or request one by phoning 01223 457048.
