How to Register to Vote

You can register to vote if you are:

• a British citizen
• an Irish or EU citizen living in the UK
• a Commonwealth citizen who has permission to enter or stay in the UK, or who does not need permission

The deadline to register to vote in the 2 May elections has now passed.

You can still register to vote in future elections using the information below.

You don’t have to register again if you’re already registered to vote at your current address. Being registered for other council services (for example, council tax) does not mean you’re registered to vote. If you have moved house since you last voted, you must register at your new address.

• Register online at gov.uk (external website). You will need your Date of Birth and National Insurance number.
• Or print out a paper form (external website). The paper form must be received by your local Electoral Registration Office.

You can check if you are already registered to vote or get help with your application by contacting your local Electoral Services Team (external webpage).
