Voter registration

There are two ways to register to vote: either via the annual canvass where a form is sent to your house every year (except in Northern Ireland) or by rolling registration where you can fill in a form at any time of the year and return it to your local electoral office. To find out more about the process of voter registration download our beginners guide to voter registration.

If you would like to register to vote visit www.aboutmyvote.co.uk.
