THOSE who haven't yet registered to vote have just over a week to do so. 

People can register to vote in the upcoming General Election until May 22. 

The election takes place on June 8 across the country. 

You don't need to register again if you already have, but if you haven't, head to gov.uk/register-to-vote to make sure your vote counts. 

Marcus Fysh, who received the most votes in the 2013 General Election, will be standing for re-election for the Conservative Party.

South Somerset district councillor Jo Roundell Greene is the Liberal Democrat candidate, hoping to follow in the footsteps of Paddy Ashdown and David Laws in representing the region in yellow.

Meanwhile, Ian Martin from the Exeter constituency will be representing the Labour Party, Crewkerne resident Katy Pritchard will be standing as an Independent candidate, and Robert Wood from Yeovil will be standing for the Green Party.
