SDLP Slams Plans To Close Regional Electoral Offices
The SDLP have hit out at plans to close regional electoral offices across Northern Ireland.
The party's MLA for South Down, Sinead Bradley, said she will write to the Chief Electoral Officer and ask for assurances that potential voters "will not be prohibited by these changes in any way".
"The constant centralisation of services across the North is wholly unacceptable," she said.
"Rural communities pay the same amount of taxes as city dwellers and deserve to have the same resources at their disposal.
"If Belfast is the only electoral office available to voters, I worry that EONI will move most of their services online. However, it is important to consider that many households do not have access to computers or struggle to navigate online systems and will therefore not be afforded the same right to register to vote."
