The European and County Council elections took place on 4 June 2009. Click here for more information.

David Kirkman for North East Hertfordshire

David Kirkman was selected as the prospective parliamentary candidate for the constituency at a meeting of all Labour Party members in the constituency on 24 October 2009. The new selection took place because Richard Henry resigned as the candidate because of a conflict of interest with his role in the primary care trust.

David, who is 25, works in IT. He already has a lot of campaigning experience and has twice stood for his local council. He is secretary of the Essex County Labour Party and treasurer of his local Co-Operative Party branch, as well as minute secretary of the Labour Group on Basildon Council. He says that he is passionate about bringing in change that has a beneficial impact on people's lives. At the meeting, he told members: "The General Election is not just about the future of the Labour Party, but the future of the country. We must not allow the Tories to destroy all that has been achieved in the past 12 years."

Don't miss out on your right to vote

A new register is compiled in the autumn of each year. A registration form is sent to each household by the District Council and must be completed and returned. If you do not do this, you will not be on the register, even if you were on it before or even if you are paying council tax to the District Council.

However, at other times of the year, if you are not on the electoral register, you can apply to be on it at any time. Download the form from your District Council's website. You can also have a postal vote, either for a specific election or permanently. Again, download the form from the District Council's website. 

In certain circumstances someone else can vote for you (proxy vote). Again, the form is on the District Council's website.
