TOMORROW, Tuesday, is the last day for residents in the Graig ward of Newport to register to vote in the upcoming council by-election.
A by-election is being held in the ward following the resignation of Conservative councillor Margaret Cornelius.

Three candidates will be standing to replace her:
- John Jones – Conservatives.
- John Harris – Labour.
- Jeff Evans – Liberal Democrats.
Graig is also represented by Conservative councillor David Williams.
