Poll cards for May’s Local Government elections are about to be posted out to households across the city.
Around 184,000 poll cards are being delivered ahead of polling day on Thursday 3 May to let electors know details of their polling station or that they are a postal voter.
Kyle Davies, Electoral Services Team Leader, said: “Arrangements are underway to get more than 184,000 poll cards to homes across Swansea, but you do not need to have a poll card to vote as long as you are on the electoral register.
“Our team is working extremely hard to help everyone who is eligible to vote to have the chance of voting at this election.”
Residents in areas where polling stations have changed for these elections have already been written to.
Residents will be able to vote in local government elections if they have registered to vote and are a British or Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of a European Union country living in the UK.
Local councils are responsible for services including waste, recycling and environmental services, schools, social services, planning, housing, libraries, transport, leisure facilities and many more.
Councillors help determine the way these services are provided, funded and prioritised.
