Voting

To be able to vote at an election or referendum, your name must appear on the electoral register.

Everyone in your home must register individually and you will need your National Insurance Number to do so.  If you can’t find it, you can find a lost National Insurance Number or call the National Insurance Number helpline on 0300 200 3505.

If you have moved house since you last voted you must register at your new address – paying Council Tax does not mean you are registered to vote. Applying to vote, doesn’t automatically add you to the electoral register. We need to check your details first, then you’ll receive a letter to confirm that you’re registered, or we may ask you for more information.
