Register to vote

In order to vote you need to be registered at a home address in the Constituency.

If you now live abroad but were previously registered to vote here or your last home address was in the Constituency you can register to vote by proxy or post from your home abroad, this was not the case in previous general elections.

To vote in person you need photo ID (e.g. Passport or Driving license) or you can apply for a free ID card.

A: Either avoids the need to visit in person the polling booth on Election Day. Postal votes are sent out usually 4 weeks or so before the election and they must be returned prior to Election Day. If you think you might be away when the postal vote arrives at your home then asking someone to vote on your behalf is a good solution.
