The election is nearing, there’s not long left to register your vote and it’s almost time to have your say in the general election.

All the campaigning you’ve seen so far boils down to the decision voters make on May 7. But there are some who say there’s no point in voting at all.

But with 2015 expected to be an extremely closely fought election, others say it’s more important than ever to get out and vote. We’d like to hear from those of you who are planning to head to the ballot box on May 7.

Why are you voting? What would you say to people who don’t want to vote? Perhaps there’s an issue in your constituency you feel particularly passionate about, or maybe you want something to change in the national government. Whatever your reasons, we’d like to hear them.

Have your say with GuardianWitness and we may feature the best in our election coverage.
