+%h1 How the council election works
+
+%p On 6 May 2010 you get to choose your local councillors and to decide who runs Sutton Council for the next four years.
+
+%p The borough is divided into 18 areas called wards.
+
+%p Each ward has three councillors. That makes 54 councillors for the whole borough.
+
+%p You get three votes to choose three councillors for your ward from the list of candidates.
+
+%p The three people with the most votes in each ward become the councillors for that ward.
+
+%p If a political party gets 28 or more councillors they get to run the council and decide its policies and services until the next election in four years time.
+
+
+%h2 Registering to vote
+
+%p
+  If you're not already registered to vote you must do so by 
+  %strong 20 April 
+  otherwise you won't be able to take part.
+
+%p
+  You can get a registration form at the 
+  %a{ :href => "http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/" } About My Vote 
+  website or by phoning Sutton Council on 
+  %span{ :class => 'phone' } 020 8770 4888.
+
+
+%h2 Voting
+
+%h3 Voting at your polling station
+
+%p Most people vote at their local polling station. This is usually in a school, hall or community centre near you.
+
+%p
+  The council will send you a 
+  %strong poll card 
+  showing you where to vote.
+
+%p If you lose your poll card, don't worry. You can still vote as long as you are registered.
+
+%p
+  You can vote at your polling station 
+  %strong between 7am and 10pm on 6 May.
+
+%p If you don't want to vote at a polling station or are unable to get there you can also:
+
+%ul
+  %li vote by post
+  %li ask someone to vote for you
+
+%h3 Voting by post
+
+%p Anyone can apply to vote by post.
+
+%p If you are registered to vote by post you won't be allowed to vote at a polling station.
+
+%h3 Asking someone to vote for you
+
+%p
+  You can choose to have someone vote for you at the polling station. This is called a 
+  %strong proxy vote.
+
+%p If you want to vote by post or have someone vote for you and haven't already told Sutton Council about this, do it straight away.
