Swindon Borough Council has asked people to ignore the letter as it was sent"by mistake"
"It's these kind of things that make people nervous or disillusioned about going out to vote, and that's negative for society," she said.By Dan O'Brien, BBC Wiltshire political reporterAbout 3,000 people were sent a letter by mistake suggesting they may not be able to vote, in a town which historically is known to be a close race at election time.
South Swindon was particularly close last time around - in a constituency of 70,000, the Tories won a majority of just 2,400. Recipients were warned that if they did not appeal against the decision within 14 days they would be removed from the electoral register.
