Voting in person 

You must be registered to vote.

When registering, you need your National Insurance number and to answer some simple questions.

Change of address

If you have changed address, you will need to re-register even if you have told the Council this in relation to Council Tax, as this is separate from any electoral registration.

You will also need to re-apply for a postal or a proxy vote if this was an arrangement you previously had at an old address.

Voter ID frequently asked questions

Following a change in UK Government legislation, the 15-year limit on voting for British citizens living overseas has been removed. Since 16 January 2024, any British citizen who was previously registered to vote in the UK, was previously resident in the UK or moved overseas before 18 years of age can now register to vote based on their last UK address regardless of how long they have lived overseas.

If you cannot vote at your registered polling station, you must apply for a postal vote or proxy voting application.
