Don't forget to vote - 12 December
The 2019 General Election is on 12 December 2020. With competing agendas around Brexit and austerity, it is hard to know what will happen. Closer to home, Vince Cable is stepping down, so there will be a new MP for Twickenham. And Richmond Park was won by only 45 votes last election. It could be close.

Check your polling station before voting
Voters in Richmond upon Thames are reminded to go online and check their polling station for the upcoming General Election on the 12 December.
The interactive Polling Station Finder, available as part of the My Richmond pages on the Council website, enables people to use their address to search for their specific polling station. A map will show the address of their allocated station and show its proximity to their home.
