On Thursday 6 May 2021 residents in East Herts will go to the polls to have their say on who represents them at Hertfordshire County Council and the Hertfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner as well as several town by-elections.

The annual publication of the Electoral Register for East Hertfordshire on 1 December reveals that there are currently 113,628 people registered to vote across the district – almost 3,000 more than on the previous revised register published in November 2019 and believed to be the highest ever figure for the area.

A cross-party group of all local District and Borough Council Leaders have united to call for a rethink over Hertfordshire County Council’s plan for one single authority for its 1.2 million residents.

When you receive a letter or an email from East Herts Council’s electoral registration team from July 1 onwards, make sure you read it carefully and take action.

Over the last few weeks residents in East Herts should have received their 2019/20 Council Tax bills. This year, East Herts Council has put up its share of the council tax by £5 in order to continue providing quality front-line services as it faces ongoing budget pressures.
