Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Spokesman for Totnes Constituency, Mike Treleaven, commented: "Whatever you may think about Britain's place in the European Union, we should all make the effort to vote on June 10th. "Euro MPs vote on important legislation affecting local people and are our local voice in Europe. Under new rules operating now anyone can apply for a postal vote to make voting easier. However, people only have just under a month to get their applications in."
