About My Vote

Are you registered to vote? You need to register because if you are not on the electoral register, you lose your vote. Between August and November, registration forms are delivered to all households in the United Kingdom. If you completed and returned a registration form during this period, your name will appear on the new electoral register and you will be able to vote at future elections. If you have moved house or changed your name you can update your entry in the electoral register
