THE deadline to register to vote in the upcoming Gourock by-election closes tomorrow.

Those who wish to cast their ballot in the Inverclyde West (ward five) by-election on November 7 must register to vote by midnight on Tuesday. 

The by-election was trigged by the resignation of Gourock councillor Martin McCluskey earlier this year, following his election as an MP.
