Mike Melville, depute electoral registration officer for Fife, said: “Anyone who wants to vote, including in any potential General Election that may be called, must be registered.
“This form helps us identify anyone eligible to vote who’s not on the electoral register. So, if you haven’t already, simply check the form and reply as soon as possible.
“It’s also important to include 14 and 15-year-olds on the form as 16-year-olds are able to vote in local government elections, as well as Scottish Parliament elections.
“This is so they are on the register when they become old enough to vote.
