ELECTION ROADSHOWS TOUR ARGYLL AND BUTE

Election Roadshows will take place throughout Argyll and Bute next month to provide people with information about the Scottish Parliament and Local Government elections to be held on 3rd May 2007.

The Roadshows, which will be hosted by Argyll and Bute Council staff, will begin in Oban on Saturday (3rd March), before moving on to Dunoon, Lochgilphead, Campbeltown, Helensburgh and Rothesay later in the month.

Returning Officer, Nigel Stewart said: “The Roadshows will be a good way for people to find out information about the elections and the new voting system for the local government elections, Single Transferable Vote.

“It is hoped that the Roadshows will target as many people as possible so if you have any questions or queries about the elections please come along to your nearest venue where the Roadshow staff will be able to answer any questions you may have. “
