The county council provides important local government services in Lancashire including education, fostering and adoption, health and social care, cultural services, libraries and archives, registering births, deaths and marriages, recycling, trading standards and highways and transport.
Mark Wynn, returning officer for the Lancashire County Council elections, said: "The elections in May are your chance to have your say about who will take decisions on the many vital services which the county council delivers over the next four years.
"If you are not yet registered to vote, or wish to apply for a postal vote, there is still time, but you need to act quickly as the deadline is fast approaching."
