Voting rules help

Hi today I have voted in the general elections and the local elections in a London consistency. At university I got put on the electoral role and have received a voting card for the local elections, not the general.

So my question is can I vote in my university towns local election since I have already voted in London? I don't want to cause any problems etc, but wouldn't mind voting here as well :confused:

What's your opinion? Does anybody know the rules?

Thanks for you help.

I would get in trouble if I voted twice I guess..

you can only vote twice if both are for the conservatives, otherwise no

You've got to be kidding

Ah cheers for the info guys, will be heading over to the polling station on my way back from uni then.

It does kind of make sense that I can vote in multiple local elections since they only affect the areas you are living in.

My GE vote is more marginal in London which is why I made the effort to go and vote down there.

Surely all of the general election votes are put in a database then cross matched to see if someone has voted twice, I would get done with my name, unique / world as far as I know.
