MORE than 13,500 people from Wyre Forest have chosen to vote in the EU Referendum by post.

Ian Miller, Counting Officer for Wyre Forest, said 17.6 percent of the 77,605 people on the Electoral Register have signed up for postal voting in the ballot on Thursday, June 23.

At the May elections this year, 15.4 per cent of those eligible to vote did so by post.

Meanwhile, Mr Miller is asking people who are voting in person to check their poll card carefully to make sure they go to their allocated polling station.

There have been two changes to polling stations from the May elections.

Blakebrook and Habberley South residents will use Kidderminster Evangelical Church in Greatfield Road instead of the Gainsborough Hotel while people in Mitton ward will use LQ Arena in Windermere Way instead of Stourport Sixth Form College.
