I'm voting for better opportunities to work and live in Devon

I think of voting as a chance to be part of helping make Devon a better place to live. It means I can have a say on the things that are important to me that affect my local community and Devon.

Voting in Devon's county council elections

How is this different to a general election?
You will be voting for someone who can help Devon County Council make decisions on key services including education, roads, social care for vulnerable adults and children as well as the local environment and Devon's countryside.
How will my vote make a difference?
By voting in the County Council election you are choosing the person who will use their local knowledge to stand up for the issues most important to you and the needs of your community.
Will the elections be Covid-secure?
Polling stations will be safe on 6th May. You can also vote by post, or by nominating a proxy to vote for you.
