Our register to vote page explains how to register. Once registered you can also apply for a postal vote or apply for a proxy vote if you need to.
If you need to check if you are on the register you can either contact us or book an appointment to view the electoral register.
The open register is an extract of the electoral register but is not used for elections. It can be bought by any person, company or organisation. For example, it is used by businesses and charities to confirm name and address details. Your name and address will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. Removing your details from the open register does not affect your right to vote.
To opt out of the open register, contact us.
