THE Labour candidate for Heslington ward in the May local elections has launched a petition calling for a ballot box to be placed at the Heslington East campus of the University of York.
David Levene said it was important all residents were able to have their say by voting easily in the local elections. A ballot box installed in Vanbrugh College boosted turnout among students in the 2007 local elections. The petition is available for students to sign at yorklabour.org.uk/petition15php and there is a Facebook group called We Want A Hes East Ballot Box.
